Educate for Tourism

Authors:

Abstract and Figures

Madeira’ Island is considered one of the best tourism destination in Europe and on the world. With an extensive tradition in tourism, Madeira should have as one of its priorities to educate for tourism. Promoting in children and young abilities that allow developing skills not only of hospitality but also of creativity or entrepreneurship is vital for the future of tourism in the region. Schools’ have the capability to be the principal motor for this education. Thus, here it is presented a proposal for a project-centered course which aims to educate students for tourism. The course is built upon five educational modules that can be introduced at any age with proper activities, on the curriculum or as an extra-curricular program. Guidelines for this course are given and ideas discussed.
