Abstract

Trends and promising outlooks of global Tour &Travel (T&T) industry over the next decade offers the opportunity for Tourism &Hospitality (T&H) educator to react and prepare a knowledgeable highly skilled workforce. As such, T&H educational setting done by curriculum, should distinguish a specific requirement for the principle, practices, and program that differ from a general education regard to the knowledge, skills, and competencies acquisition. However, T&H domain study is still fairly growth and develop. Thus, literature examining curriculum issues or the pressures and changes affecting this important education sector remains relatively limited, particularly in the dynamic global changes of higher education (HE) policy. This article focused on T&H curriculum model approach in order to have comprehensive understanding of the current context to look forward on T&H knowledge creation and research development. Benefitted from documentation of secondary data collection that cover a long span of time, events, and setting, the article adapted the educational thinkers from both Ornstein and Hunkin [1] toward HE curriculum and Posner [2] on curriculum modelling to provide the framework thinking of contemporary T&H curriculum model from modernist and post-modernist approaches. The result and discussion offered the fact that the modernist approach dominate the curriculum model while at the same time produce an instability condition for the future T&H HE agenda. Curriculum model is understood as a broad theory informed framework to design and organize the curriculum according to certain principles and criteria. Keywords—Curriculum model, tourism, hospitality, higher education.
