Research on the Practical Teaching System for the Cultivation of Cultural and Tourism Talents in Universities under the Background of New Liberal Arts

Abstract

As the cultural tourism industry thrives, new requirements have been emerged for colleges and universities to cultivate cultural tourism talents with comprehensive qualities and professional abilities. Interdisciplinary and blended teaching reforms, spearheaded by the construction of new liberal arts, have emerged as a pivotal focus in tourism higher education. The purpose of this paper is to explore how colleges and universities can build an effective practical teaching system for the cultivation of cultural and tourism talents under the background of new liberal arts. First of all, the prevalent issues in the current cultivation process are scrutinized. These include insufficient alignment between training objectives and industry needs, outdated curriculum systems, scarcity of practical teaching resources, limited integration of digital technologies, and weaknesses in the teaching faculty. These shortcomings underscore the imperative of practical teaching reform in the backdrop of new liberal arts construction. Subsequently, the paper outlines innovative strategies and initiatives for the practical teaching system of cultural and tourism talent cultivation in colleges and universities within the framework of new liberal arts. It emphasizes the integration of modern educational technologies and the clarification of training objectives tailored to the new liberal arts context. A holistic approach is advocated for planning practical teaching activities, encompassing teaching models, content, resources, methods, and evaluation systems. The goal is to elevate students' professional skills, foster innovative thinking, and enhance their practical capabilities, ultimately ensuring the quality and effectiveness of practical teaching. By fostering interdisciplinary integration and facilitating the internalization of a comprehensive cultural and tourism talent model aligned with new liberal arts, this approach contributes to the digital transformation of talent cultivation, elevates the quality of practical teaching, enhances the effectiveness of university-industry collaborative education, and meets the evolving needs of society and the industry.
