Each of the chapters posit transformations in tourism and hospitality education, and considerations for specific design and delivery responses. The considerations cover areas from generative artificial intelligence to feminist approaches, academic integrity, privilege and diversity, collaboration, employability, and authenticity. * Glen Croy, Monash University, Australia *

Contributions from international scholars blend theory with practical examples, urging us to rethink curricula and teaching methods that not only prepare graduates to be industry-ready, but also shape them into responsible leaders, capable of driving positive social and personal transformation. * Marianna Sigala, University of Newcastle, Australia *
