Resumo: The teaching of tourism at a higher education level has become well established in Portuguese Higher Education (HE) institutions. The academic curriculum needs to change in Tourism courses in order to implement the Bologna Process in Portugal. We have taken into consideration the diversity of tourism courses and approaches, from the agents’ viewpoints that are influencing the new design of academic curricula in Portugal. We concluded that tourism education needs a common and negotiated approach as an area of study that is difficult to categorize and this is reflected in the development of new curriculum perspectives. This research paper essentially reflects an empirical application to the Portuguese situation.
