Abstract

This study aims to explore the attitudes and communication proficiency of tourism students towards online learning within the emergency distance education. Empirical data was collected through an online survey from tourism students across ten universities in Türkiye reached by convenience sampling. The students perceived online learning as less effective than in-person education while their attitudes towards online learning were significantly influenced by internet accessibility and communication proficiency. These findings underscore the pivotal role of communication proficiency alongside information and communication technologies and internet access in facilitating effective online learning experiences. The study provides theoretical insights and has practical implications for tourism education during emergencies.
