As a new integrated format combining culture, tourism, and education, education tourism urgently requires interdisciplinary talents. In response to problems in higher education in tourism, such as disconnection from industry practices, disciplinary barriers, and a lack of educational theory, relevant institutions have promoted a "Tourism + Education" dual-discipline integration reform based on theories like constructivism and industry-education integration. By constructing a "Three-in-One" collaborative education model that integrates "theory with practice, competition with innovation, and research with application," they have restructured the curriculum system, implemented immersive practices, promoted competition and innovation, developed micro-majors, co-built research platforms, and served industrial applications. This has resulted in mature experience with dual-discipline integration as the core, competition-innovation-research-application as the pathway, and ecosystem construction as the guarantee. This approach has improved the quality of talent cultivation, providing practical reference and talent support for professional innovation and the development of the local study travel industry.
