Billington, Robert D. (2005) Tourism Professional Competencies and their Relationship to United States Higher Education Curricula. Forecasts from the International Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education (2002) indicate "travel and tourism is the world's largest industry and rivals any other in terms of size and impact" (p. 6). However, the United States has yet to establish universal tourism curricula and to identify requisite tourism competencies. Moreover, research suggests the tourism industry operates without concern for planning for long-term sustainability. Potential students may be confused as to which curriculum to choose for their future..
