Abstract

Tourism cannot be taught or learned through lecture models; practical exposure is necessary for enhancing experience. Tourism laboratories can help in this process, as most Indian universities use demo versions of ticketing software in their studies. These labs could lead to more practical and technology-enabled tourism learning and teaching. The current generation of students is well-equipped to grasp lab-based studies, which is essential for industry. An opinion survey of students shows enthusiasm for lab-based studies. The chapter focuses mainly on two factors. Firstly, the probable outcome of lab-based tourism studies as opinioned by students. The second part is focused on creating detailed guidelines on the use of laboratory learning activities in formal instruction in tourism studies that would help the students be more employable.
