  • 摘要:At its general term,this paper discusses the role of guest lecturers in higher education.More precisely,the paper considers the role of guest lecturers in Tourism Management programmes taught to student in Universities.The paper examines theory and literature relating to tourism studies and higher education in general.It discusses the relevance of guest speakers in universities and examines their contributions towards tourism programmes.The paper discusses lecturers in tourism degrees suggesting that they might lack industry experiences but are still required to deliver theories to students and are seen as classroom managers and student mentors.The paper further investigates how lecturers and guest speakers are perceived as two different entities by students where lecturers are seen as classroom managers and guest speakers are seen as the industry knowledge providers.As internationalisation of education becomes the focus of higher education institutions that aim to deliver education in a more international context,guest speakers that address local practical occurrences become less appealing.With the rapid spread of distant learning and online education,the paper concludes that guest lecturers are not the solution for perfect academic experiences in higher education in general and specifically in tourism programmes.
