Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the German-speaking tourism university landscape - current assessments and future perspectives. (Special Issue: Covid-19 - eine Zeitenwende im Tourismus.) [German]

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic not only affects many segments of the economy, especially the leisure and tourism industries, but also the education sector, i. H. schools, colleges and universities. In this respect, academic tourism training is doubly affected on the one hand, courses in the previous form can no longer be carried out and require new teaching formats and concepts on the part of the teachers. On the other hand, there are increasing challenges for young academics to find jobs after completing their studies and/or (study-related) internships in the leisure and tourism industry. This project report is dedicated to the perspective of the teachers and analyzes the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the German-speaking tourism college and university landscape.
