Abstract

In recent years, distance learning has emerged as a transformative force in higher education, including hospitality management programs. This study aims to assess the impact of distance learning on students, educators, and the broader hospitality industry. Through a mixed-methods approach involving surveys, interviews, and analysis of academic performance, this research explores the effectiveness of distance learning in preparing students for careers in hospitality management. The study also investigates the challenges and opportunities presented by remote education, considering factors such as digital technology adoption, student engagement, and the changing dynamics of the hospitality sector. The findings shed light on the evolving landscape of hospitality education and provide insights for institutions and educators seeking to optimize distance learning in this field.
