Abstract
Tourism introduces us to a different culture and its values. Tourism education reflects the values of a particular culture. Both offer a potential for personal growth that can be accessed only by reflecting upon these values. This reflection might yield unexpected results: the awareness that Western education's emphasis on individualism, logic and compartmentalisation may blind us to the benefits of other cultural perspectives; when one language disappears, usurped by an "official" language, we lose its rich cultural nuances that allow deeper communication; and art, as an embodiment of a culture, can create something of great (but often overlooked) value - feeling.
