ABSTRACT

This study suggests necessities of the introduction of tourism higher education accreditation in Korea based on the examination of the current problems of Korean tourism higher education and the international trend on the tourism higher education accreditation. It also discusses six problems that the Korean tourism educators, administrators and practitioners need to solve together in the process of the introduction. The six problems include the establishment of standard curriculum, the decision on the object, scope and procedure of accreditation, the cooperation with international tourism higher education accreditation such as TedQual, the promotion of the accreditation system to the government and industry, and the professionalism of tourism studies.
