Tourism Education: What about entrepreneurial skills?

A feedback questionnaire was developed to verify the impact of the entrepreneurship education program on students. It allowed to conclude that from the tourism students' perspective the embeddedness of entrepreneurship education within their courses was considered very relevant to assess future employment prospects, being the students both employees or self-employed. Students had also acquired and enhanced non-cognitive skills which are most valued by the tourism industry. This case study was also pertinent to identify best practices and propose guidelines for creating curricular spaces for the development of entrepreneurial skills.
