Abstract

E-learning has been suggested to help higher education organizations in tourism to achieve sustainable development. Thus, this study aims to identify factors determining the learners' needs for e-learning programs, particularly in a tourism curriculum. Based on relevant research and the Technology Acceptance Model, the study conducted a survey with 1,109 learners in the Central Coastal region of Vietnam. The results show that the e-learning environment, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, playfulness, and information technology skills have a positive impact on the learner's needs. These findings provide useful managerial implications for e-learning of tourism programs which contributes to the sustainable development of higher education as well as tourism industry through its workforce.
