Abstract: Abstract The goal of this chapter is twofold: Recent research work in the domain of e-Tourism curriculum design, development, and adjustment is explored and critically discussed. More importantly, necessary elements constituting the “state of the art” e-Tourism curriculum are presented. The book chapter is structured as follows: First, the often overlooked positions in the philosophy of education are outlined. After a short discussion of major tourism educational frameworks (Tribe 2002, 2015) and tourism curriculum models (Dredge et al. 2012), the Tourism Curriculum Framework proposed by Oktadiana and Chon (2016) is introduced. This framework serves in discussing prior research work on e-Tourism curriculum design and major e-Tourism curriculum initiatives. After emphasizing commonalities and omissions of analyzed studies, major elements constituting the IFITT (International Federation for IT and Travel & Tourism) e-Tourism curriculum are outlined. Finally, after illustrating research gaps, the conclusion section proposes an agenda for future research in the domain of e-Tourism curriculum design.
