Abstract

The following article presents the results of a research carried out with Tourism Planning lecturers who teach on Tourism Programmes at higher education level in Curitiba, and the reflections on the outcomes. The main objectives were to investigate the lecturers’ profile and their opinions about Tourism Planning in order to evaluate the state of the art of the discipline and search for coinciding contents and methods among the universities. In addition it was intended to find out the lecturers opinions about the graduates´ performance at the labour market. Qualitative method has been chosen supported by individual interviews, and, as no previous hypotheses have been drawn the nature of the study was exploratory. The main findings show the different denominations of the discipline at different universities; the larger amount of hours allocated for the discipline at UFPR as compared to the others; the relation between policies and planning; the theory-practice process in the providing of the discipline; the lack of recent publications in this field of study; and the low interest of bachelors in working as planners.
