The tourism industry is a significant driver of the global economy and impacts societies all over the world that are currently experiencing radical change. Responding to these changes requires economic paradigms and educational systems based on new foundations. Humanistic tourism proposes a values-based disciplinary perspective for tourism at the intersection between humanistic and tourism management, and is rooted in human dignity and societal wellbeing. Integrating humanistic management principles into higher education tourism management programs, and changing the nature of what is taught and how, would benefit students, future managers and all stakeholders. This paper aims at improving higher education tourism programs by combining humanistic management education and the Tourism Education Futures Initiative's (TEFI) values-based tourism education. It draws on an integrated Humanistic Tourism Education framework to help develop future tourism managers' skills and abilities to adopt alternative leadership models within the sector and to foster critical and responsible tourism thinking and practice. With best-practice examples from three universities in three different countries, this study illustrates new pedagogical approaches and proposes recommendations for implementing humanistic tourism management in higher education with the aim of training ethical and responsible managers equipped with an awareness of the social, cultural, and environmental challenges - and possible solutions to these - in their respective destinations.
旅游业是全球经济的重要驱动力，对世界各地正在经历深刻变革的社会产生影响。应对这些变化需要基于新基础的经济范式和教育体系。人文旅游在人文与旅游管理的交叉点上，为旅游业提出了一种基于价值观的学科视角，其根源在于人的尊严和社会福祉。将人文管理原则融入高等教育旅游管理课程，并改变教学内容和方式的本质，将使学生、未来的管理人员以及所有利益相关者受益。本文旨在通过将人文管理教育与旅游教育未来倡议（TEFI）基于价值观的旅游教育相结合，来改进高等教育旅游课程。它借鉴了一个综合的人文旅游教育框架，以帮助培养未来旅游管理人员的技能和能力，使其在该领域采用替代领导模式，并促进批判性和负责任的旅游思维与实践。通过来自三个不同国家的三所大学的最佳实践案例，本研究阐述了新的教学方法，并提出了在高等教育中实施人文旅游管理的建议，旨在培养有道德、有责任感的管理人员，使其意识到各自目的地的社会、文化和环境挑战以及可能的解决方案。
