COLLADO MEDINA, Lucía M; MEDINA CUEVAS, Lourdes; HERRERA MARQUEZ, Alma  and  MORENO ZAGAL, Maricruz. Curriculum innovation in tourism: a field of study and references for university training. Rev. Actual. Investig. Educ [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.1, pp.70-109. ISSN 1409-4703.

This article presents an overview of curriculum research in tourism reported in Mexico and other countries, mainly in Latin America. It defines trends, impacts, scope, patterns of emerging problems, and referents to clarify approaches and models of professional development and curriculum innovation in this field. Based on the mapping method, the sources underpinning this study were selected and evaluated. These sources pose challenges for modeling innovative curriculum. New paradigms are emerging to address inter-and transdisciplinary the case of the tourism curriculum. With regard to the above, we conclude consider epistemological assumptions consistent with the complexity and uncertainty underlying models of tourism training, relevant to social and human environment

Keywords : Curriculum; Curriculum Innovation; Tourism Training; Mexico.
