ABSTRACT Hospitality/tourism career forums are events at which a panel of successful travel industry professionals provide career advice to students and answer their questions about getting started, and succeeding, in the travel industry. A long-standing forum annually conducted in Hawaii is evaluated in this article. An analysis of data collected by surveying student attendees of the forum immediately after its conclusion revealed that students highly rated the event and would likely recommend it to other students. Advice on working in the travel industry, course selection, and working with others significantly contributed to students’ overall rating of the event, suggesting that future events should include such information. Students with travel industry experience, on average, rated the event more highly than others in terms of advice on career advancement and working in the industry, suggesting the importance of dispensing advice not only on starting careers in hospitality/tourism but also on successfully continuing them.

ABSTRACT Influenced by Chinese culture, educators are highly respected in Chinese communities. However, the work of hospitality educators is not a highly regarded position in society because Chinese people commonly perceive hospitality management studies as unnecessary. These conditions place hospitality educators in a contradictory position, in that society respects them as educators but does not value their subject. On this basis, this paper investigates the influence of perceived occupational prestige on the occupational commitment of hospitality educators and the moderating effects of their industrial and education work experiences. The findings show that perceived occupational prestige is strongly related to the occupational commitment of hospitality educators. It is also found that work experience does not always have positive moderating effects on their occupational commitment. This study provides essential information on how hospitality educators’ occupational commitment is influenced by perceived occupational prestige and the work experiences of hospitality educators in Hong Kong.

ABSTRACT The COVID 19 pandemic has forced educators and students to embrace e-learning. It has become urgent that educators expedite their efforts in establishing criteria to assess the overall effectiveness of e-learning, in which student emotional intelligence (EI) cultivation and development play an increasingly centric role. However, a survey of the current literature shows that EI in e-learning appears to have received little attention. This study was thus designed to help fill this research void. Specifically, it set out to understand typical hospitality and tourism students’ EI behaviors in the e-learning environment. To achieve this goal, this study applied a two-round Delphi approach. The findings show that in the e-learning environment, students commonly exhibit high self-awareness, low self-management, low social management, and low relationship-building competence. Prior EI studies mainly focus on employee performance and behavior but this study extends the effect of EI in education and offers significant implications for hospitality and tourism educators and researchers (word count: 155).

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the motivations for undergraduate students to pursue studies in culinary arts. The research consists of a mixed methodology, a survey with 94 students from 64 different Brazilian universities, and two focus groups, one group with ten students and one group with twelve students. The students were in their last year of university. The results show that the motivations to pursue a culinary arts degree are related to personal interest, field attractiveness, university degree, and the growing emphasis on culinary shows. The contribution of this research is its innovative approach to examine why students are studying culinary arts.

ABSTRACT Globally, the study of entrepreneurship is increasingly becoming a prominent component of hospitality and tourism education. However, uncertainties arising from an unpredictable business environment, inadequate governmental support as well as the ramifications of the recent Covid-19 pandemic have heightened the risks of starting business ventures. Yet the role of risk-taking propensity in driving entrepreneurial attitudes and career decisions in the context of developing economies has received limited attention. Using a survey of 547 hospitality and tourism students from five public universities, the structural equation modeling technique of partial least squares was applied in examining students’ response to entrepreneurship. While entrepreneurial attitudes are driven by risk-taking inclination, the findings suggest that entrepreneurial career decisions are more complicated. The study outcome further underscores the critical roles of personal attitude, normative influence, and behavioral control in shaping entrepreneurial mind-sets.

ABSTRACT Although we have entered the new normal created by the COVID-19 crisis, few studies have offered guidance for the future of hospitality and tourism education. This study attempts to fill this gap by adopting two theories – curriculum theory and stakeholder theory. Thirty participants, consisting of hospitality and tourism students, faculty members, and industry professionals, were interviewed in focus groups. The results demonstrate curricula with a heavy emphasis on technology (artificial intelligence, virtual reality, or big data), marketing, culture/diversity, safety/crisis management, and entrepreneurship; and soft competencies focusing on creativity, self-confidence/positivity, self-care/wellness, critical thinking, leadership and teamwork. Many of these hard and soft skills reflect a greater need for new innovative business ideas and safety/health concerns in the post-COVID era. We hope these results serve as a foundation for educators and other stakeholders involved in setting plans and strategies for hospitality and tourism education in the years to come.
