| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to examine the content of tourism degree courses following an outline of the development of the core body of knowledge for tourism. It reports on the findings of a research study that was carried out in 1997 into the aims and content of courses in the UK. The main findings are that the aims of the courses are substantially vocational and business orientated, that most courses include common areas of knowledge and that there is a commonality around the tourism courses with a business focus that there is less agreement about the courses that do not have this focus. |
