This book presents insights and lessons learned from implementing Design-Based Learning (DBL) within hospitality management education. It offers a practical guide for educators and industry partners on how to design and implement DBL in practice, while supporting meaningful collaboration between education and the hospitality industry. Including perspectives from students, educators and industry partners, the chapters showcase DBL in action through real-life design challenges embedded within the curriculum, from the first year of the bachelor’s programme to the master’s level. By sharing collective experiences from a university applying DBL across its entire hospitality programme, the book provides a unique, hands-on exploration of how DBL can shape the future of hospitality education.
