Abstract
COVID-19 has represented a turning point for hospitality industry with enormous effects leading to a potential transformation. This study aims to identify the effects of this period on the pandemic evaluation and future considerations of hospitality students to suggest actions for decision-makers in hospitality education to motivate students into sustainable careers in the sector. The findings of the quantitative research report that students’ evaluations of the pandemic are explained by future anxiety and openness. Students with prior work experience tend to have more negative evaluations of the pandemic. The findings of the qualitative research point out that students evaluate the pandemic period with a realistic and optimistic perspective to enhance their capabilities to adapt to changes, transform or shift to a relevant sector.

AJHTL is a proudly African, independent, privately owned multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, not aligned to any institution which is published quarterly. We encourage academic debate and are fully electronic and dedicated to increasing the depth of research across a range of related disciplines with the primary objective of promoting research. New researchers are especially welcome to submit articles to us for consideration. Our articles are read by scholars, students and industry globally.

Articles that have been either published elsewhere or which are currently considered for publication elsewhere, must not be submitted for reviewing. A journal publication might take from about one month up to one nine months to appear. The reviewing process is competitive with less than 69% of papers considered finally being accepted for publication. Authors must be certain that their paper meets the academic standards of rigorous scholarly research.
