Stakeholders' perspectives on undergraduate curriculum of hospitality and tourism: a case of Indonesia

The Indonesian government's recognition of hospitality and tourism education as a field of study in 2008 has led to the emergence of two hospitality and tourism undergraduate programsin the country, known as Diploma IV and Bachelor. Both programs are viewed as having equal level. The former places greater emphasis on vocational educationand the later more on academic training. The categorization of those two afore mentioned tourism programs had been specified, however, the composition and the quintessence of individual programs are still considered ambivalent. This equivocal may well be affecting the curriculum of each program. In response to the issue, this paper aims to seek the distinctive of vocational-and academic-based undergraduate curricula of Indonesia's hospitality and tourism education from the perspectives of four groups of stakeholders: educators, students, industry practitioners, and government officials.
