Abstract
The purpose of this research was to explore perceptions of the research-based learning (RBL) approach as an added value in tourism education. This research used a qualitative approach with an exploratory scope through three focus groups of eight tourism students who are part of the project: “Fostering a platform for research-based education to support sustainable development through Tourism in the Cajas Massif Biosphere Area (CMBA)”, in Southern Ecuador. The study shows that a research-based learning approach can be more successful than traditional approaches to link theory and practice, using real study cases and problems in the territory.
