Abstract

Current curricula and learning environments provided by HEIs generally do not implement a transformative approach toward education. Learning for sustainable tourism is not only a matter of introducing the concept of sustainable tourism into the curriculum, but also of using teaching approaches which enable social learning towards a sustainable tourism future beyond the mere creation of a body of knowledge. The engagement in practical sustainability activities in a multi-stakeholder environment as suggested by the TRIANGLE knowledge alliance contributes to changing the students’ behavior and changing their mindsets.
