The globalization movement and its increasing changes in the various aspects of life in contemporary societies have caused many negative repercussions on the environment and its contents in many areas of life. The world has suffered from environmental, health, and social problems that have negatively affected human rights and the land on which it lives. These changes have affected the rights of generations and the environment. The contemporary world countries have developed or developed an unprecedented interest in the concept of sustainable development to preserve the rights of the environment at present to preserve the rights of future generations to live in peace on the planet (Barth, M. 2015).
Education is a top priority for contemporary countries to promote the concept of sustainable development for individuals and groups through the introduction of the principle of education for sustainable development to achieve sustainable human development that plays a major role in shaping their strategies in achieving the goals of sustainable development. (UNESCO. 2016).
The main purpose of undergraduate hospitality and tourism programs is to prepare future hospitality and tourism professionals for the workforce. It may be argued that since the profession is moving towards sustainability, the curriculum should move towards sustainability as well (Deale et al. ,2009).
