Abstract

Information and communication technologies and tourism education have been going hand in hand in the last decades. Currently, it is a rich environment with numerous players, attractive offers, as well as varied training modalities and covered topics. This chapter presents the overlapping areas between tourism, education, and technologies. It will first introduce the context of e-learning and the main issues related to it while discussing the benefits e-learning brings to tourism education. It will also present how e-learning dimensions such as media and technologies, space and time, delivery scenarios, and trends can be leveraged within the tourism and hospitality sector. Numerous players in the domain, mostly belonging to the academic institutions and industry at large, together with their online training offer, will be extensively reviewed. Main academic studies about e-learning in the tourism domain will be discussed along. The chapter is concluded by discussing open challenges, emerging trends, and possible future developments.
