Abstract: PurposeThe ever-changing technological advancement and the unprecedented challenges brought about by COVID-19 pandemics have highlighted the vulnerability of many economic sectors, casting doubts on what should we still learn and how should we learn. In coping with the challenges and evolutions, tourism educators have been deploying new or modifying existing pedagogies to adapt to the changes. Using a bibliometric analysis via Citespace, 847 hotel and tourism education articles related to pedagogy from year 2000 to 2022 from Web of Science were examined in this study. This study aims to identify the change of research facets of knowledge production in tourism pedagogies at different phases. Findings shed light on the change of tourism pedagogies as a reflection of addressing the tourism market and stakeholders’ needs. Five broad research themes were identified, including critical pedagogy, online learning, sustainability education, tourism action transformation and adaptability to changes. Research findings provide a systematic review of tourism pedagogies across the world.
