It also provides the context for the study case presented, specifically the educational practice led by the Department of Tourism at St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Turnovo. The aim of the study is to outline some backgrounds for commencing a process of educational transformation from passive to active learning in the field of tourism as well as to trace the process followed in the University of Veliko Turnovo. The methodology includes qualitative and quantitative analytical approaches. The discussions and results show that one way to properly integrate practice-based learning (PBL) in tourism education is to transform it from a passive to an active approach. \u00a0The set of tools for this purpose includes: changed strategy of the academic department; inclusion of practice-pointed courses and activities; integration of on-the-go monitoring procedures.<\/p>\n<p><em>Keywords:<\/em> practice-based learning, tourism, education, PBL, passive-active transformation<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/philosophy.azbuki.bg\/en\/member-login\/\">Log in to read the full text<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nadezhda S.
