Abstract

Driven by AI technology, traditional tourism flipped classrooms will face numerous challenges. This study analyzes the problems existing in traditional blended learning within tourism flipped classrooms and proposes teaching reform ideas that integrate online resource libraries, innovate the "pre-class + in-class + after-class" flipped classroom model, and enhance teaching evaluation through multiple dimensions. Taking the course "Tourism Destination Management" as an example, teaching practices are carried out by incorporating AI concepts and technologies into the course's training objectives, teaching content, teaching design, and teaching evaluation, with the aim of improving the quality of tourism flipped classroom instruction.
