However, its success is constrained by a shortage of relevant skills. Both qualitative and quantitative gaps exist between the skills supplied and the industry needs. This chapter highlights the challenges observed in the provision of tourism education and training for the industry. It is aimed at generating insights that can help stakeholders to address the established mismatch between graduates’ attributes and employers demand. The enhanced competency framework and work-integrated learning approach are proposed as part of the solution to address skills shortfalls for the industry in the country.enBook chapter
