Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical potential of tourism education in fostering intercultural communication competencies among students. By integrating tourism-related activities, experiential learning, and cross-cultural interactions into the curriculum, students develop essential skills such as cultural awareness, effective communication across cultures, adaptability, and empathy. The research highlights how tourism education serves not only as a source of knowledge about global destinations but also as a practical tool for enhancing students’ social and intercultural competencies, preparing them for professional and personal interactions in an increasingly interconnected world.
