This paper discusses the existence of Western-centrism in tourism theory and points out the need for more consideration of its effects on the delivery of degrees from Western universities in non-Western contexts in transnational education. It also provides a conceptual framework to help achieve a deeper understanding of potential issues and future directions.
Western-centrism in tourism theory is acknowledged within the academic community. However, there is little consideration of its implications for transnational education, which might include the delivery of degrees from Western universities in non-Western contexts. This letter provides a conceptual framework that offers deeper understanding of potential issues and ways forward.
