Abstract
In this study we present a primary analysis of the opinions held by the students of the Tourist Enterprises department on the introduction and incorporation of e-Learning as a modern form of communication in tourism education. It deals with the resulting aspects from a framework of field research in all three schools operating in Crete. It is also critically researched the common approach background in which both the educational policy and the international models registered in this field, seem to be based on. The alternative approach, depicted in this study, is methodologically based on the fact that both Internet and moving picture constitute traditional learning forms. From that aspect, modern forms of education should not be an extension or complementary to the established approaches and forms of tourism education, which often tend to the formulation of a new learning type. The question, thus, is whether a complete reformation of the institution is required, stemming from the relation between e-learning and tourism education.
