本文旨在了解旅游业雇主对学位的看法。以前从未进行过这种类型和规模的研究，并进行了一次大规模的行业意见调查，确定并讨论了关键问题。这些涵盖的主题，如英国旅游服务业毕业生的就业，对他们的贡献和适当性的意见，这种学位提供的技能类型，工资表和毕业生培训计划。目前的政府政策，扩大参与高等教育（HE）及其对行业技能的影响进行了评估。2007年初，提供旅游课程及其内容的问题再次成为中心议题。这是由于对部门技能组织“人民第一”的审查越来越严格，以及政府在2008年推出了新的职业文凭。本文中的调查结果与政府机构和教育工作者有关，并且以前曾与部门技能组织和文化，媒体和体育部（DCMS）分享，以解决旅游业的高等教育问题。版权所有© 2008约翰威利父子有限公司.
This article sets out to ascertain travel and tourism industries employers' views on degrees. Research of this kind and on this scale has not previously been carried out and a large scale survey of industry views was conducted with key issues identified and discussed. These cover topics such as the employment of graduates within the UK travel services industry, views on their contribution and appropriateness, the types of skills that such degrees provide, salary scales and graduate training schemes. Current government policy on widening participation in higher education (HE) and its impact on industry skills is also evaluated. The issue of the provision of tourism curricula and their content has at the beginning of 2007 once again been pushed centre stage. This is as a result of the increasing scrutiny of the Sector Skills organisation People 1st and the launch of the government's new vocational diplomas in 2008. The findings in this article are pertinent for government bodies and educators alike and have previously been shared with the Sector Skills organisation and Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in addressing HE in tourism.
