Abstract
What level of understanding do Hospitality Management students require of Information Technology in order to fulfil their future roles in industry? This paper describes computing courses offered in Hospitality Management in the Australian TAFE sector and how these courses are attempting to meet the needs of the industry. There has recently been a significant shift in the way that hospitality establishments obtain information systems, away from the building of customised systems towards specialised packaged systems. New curriculum developments are reflecting these changes in the industry.
