Abstract

This chapter is based on the fact that innovation in education has been the subject of extensive studies for at least two decades, thus bringing to the surface the need to diversify the ways and means by which education is provided by educators and acquired by learners, society in general, and business and economic activity in particular. Accordingly, the research leads to the estimated benefits for all stakeholders involved in the process, creating an accumulated perception of innovation in education. Hence, the chapter proposes a visual model that is likely to contribute as a roadmap for incorporating simulation tools in Continuous Vocational Education and Training (CVET) in tourism Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
