Abstract
Internationalisation has been on the agenda for the last two decades of any institute of higher education (HEI) that has sought to provide an international environment for the education of its students. The rhetoric increasingly has been to provide an education that prepares the graduate to function excellently across cultural boundaries in a globalised work space. The reality of findings from research is showing that many activities under the banner of internationalisation are not delivering what they promise, although a number of interventions are having some of the desired effects. Over the last 3–4 years, there has been a debate about the future of internationalisation of higher education, and the contours of what this entails are becoming visible. The nexus between research and education is receiving significant attention and has a role to play in the development of future curricula.
This contribution will discuss the changes envisaged and taking place and give the reader more insight in the most recent developments in the development of new curricula. It will discuss best practices in development international hospitality curricula and identify opportunities and pitfalls for successful experiences in internationalisation.
