Abstract: The Indian hospitality and tourism sector has grown tremendously in recent years. The curriculum evaluation process plays a major role not only in keeping the system up to date but also in directing the students toward their goals. The curriculum development process must be structured in a way that students can easily pursue their desired field of study without any barriers (Hussain et al., 2011). The pandemic has badly affected the education system across the globe as such traditional face-to-face learning was temporarily terminated by governments across the globe. The paradigm shift from offline to online education disrupted the education system (Chandler et al., 2020). This article reviewed the literature of 71 articles on hospitality and tourism employability skills, academic delivery, hospitality curriculum and paradigm shift in hospitality education. The paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of hospitality education curricula through a systematic and critical literature review.
