This paper will present the findings of a recent Summit on the Future of Tourism Education held in April 2007 in Austria. The summit's goal is to identify future societal, economic, environmental, political and technological trends from 2010 to 2030 and project how tourism and tourism higher educational programs must change to address these trends. Fifty tourism education experts (40
from academia and 10 from industry) from all over the world gathered to share ideas about how to address these paradigm shifts. One objective is to suggest ways that tourism education programs much change to match these shifts.
