摘要
The demands of today's global economy underscore the importance of experiential learning in the field of tourism. Two increasingly popular forms of experiential learning are study abroad and the consulting practicum. Both are utilized in the international tourism consulting practicum conducted by the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management at The George Washington University (GW). This paper reviews GW's recent practicum experiences in Bulgaria, Dominica and Honduras, focusing on challenges faced, results achieved, and lessons learned. (C) 2004 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
