This report outlines the Tourism Education Futures Initiative (TEFI), which aims to reshape tourism education between 2010 and 2030. Forty-five tourism educators and industry experts convened at Modul University in Vienna to discuss the necessary adaptations in tourism education in response to societal and industry transformations. The summit emphasized equipping students with the capacity to lead responsibly in the face of increasing demands for stewardship. The outcomes included a set of foundational values for future tourism programs and five key skill categories deemed essential for future students: destination stewardship, political and ethical skills, enhanced human resource skills, and dynamic business skills. The initiative, now part of the BEST Education Network, plans to continue developing a values-based curriculum to prepare leaders for the future tourism industry.
