A Systematic Literature Review on Issues of Hospitality, Tourism and Catering Curriculum Development in Ghana Institutions

Abstract

This study systematically reviewed the literature related to hospitality, tourism, and catering (HTC) institutions' curricula in Ghana to identify quality issues, the research approach that has been least adopted, and the contribution of improvement of the curricula. The study utilized the PRISMA guideline to conduct a systematic literature review. The findings are that HTC policies and developments were the issues that had received little attention from researchers. Also, the mixed-method approach appeared to be the least preferred research approach adopted for HTC studies. As noted in the findings, the HTC curricula in tertiary institutions in Ghana have received little attention towards their development. The insights gained from this analysis could be helpful to both academia and professionals in the HTC industry, especially in Ghana, as the study identifies critical areas for consideration in HTC curriculum development. Among other suggestions, this study recommends that more research be carried out to identify factors that can contribute to improving the quality and usefulness of HTC curricula in Ghana.
