Computer-based training (CBT) could soon become prevalent in the hotel industry write Dr Eric Chan of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and a co-author in a recently published research paper. Drawing on the results of an undergraduate survey conducted in Hong Kong, the researchers show that hospitality and tourism students – the potential hoteliers of tomorrow – perceive CBT not only as an effective method but also one that is compatible with the training needs of hotel employees. Most of the students they surveyed regarded CBT as user-friendly, and noted that they would be confident in being subjected to it. They also indicated their intention to use it in the future. This, argue the researchers, indicates the viability of the method as an industry-wide practice that could be used in conjunction with traditional face-to-face training methods.
