This theoretical-conceptual article seeks to identify the competencies, skills and characteristics suggested in tourism training, and to describe the general research trends on curricular innovation in tourism. An analysis of academic scientific articles extracted from the Scopus and Science Direct databases between 2008 and 2018 is made.

Keywords : tourism; higher education; pedagogical innovation; professional competence; curriculum.
