Abstract
World-wide, education for tourism and hospitality is undergoing a major transformation.
Approaches, strategies and programmes are being reassessed. Tourism and hospitality schools are being made more attractive to the prospective students and more appropriate to the needs of the hospitality industry. Because education is one of the greatest single investments in the life of a professionally qualified person, a student’s choice of her/his school is unequivocally associated to value. This paper discusses the importance of
innovativeness and knowledge in education in the light of global—social, intellectual and professional-mobility. It shows how the quality challenge has started major processes of change in education, and how implementation of strict, objective and transparent criteria in an educational establishment can lead to success.
