Resumen de A Descriptive Study of Sustainability Education in the Hospitality Curriculum
Cynthia S. Deale, Jane Nichols, Paul Jacques
This paper focuses on sustainability education in the hospitality curriculum. A survey of 151 educators who were members of the International Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education provided data for the study during the spring of 2008. Results indicated that while sustainability is taught in a variety of ways in hospitality courses it does not appear to be central to the courses and programs of those sampled. Findings suggest that sustainability concepts do not carry great emphasis in hospitality education. Implications are discussed.
