The booming development of tourism also makes some scholars gradually pay attention to the research on the quality of higher education in tourism-related majors, and some research results have been produced in recent years. Many scholars believe that studying the quality standards of tourism higher education is of great significance to the development of tourism higher education. This paper reviews the research contents of higher education quality assessment at home and abroad, and finds that scholars at home and abroad have different views on education quality assessment. Therefore, this paper collects the research articles of domestic and foreign scholars on higher education, classifies and compares their research contents, finds out the shortcomings of domestic education quality evaluation, refers to foreign research experience on education quality evaluation, and explores new directions suitable for domestic education quality evaluation. It is found that the quality assessment of higher education in foreign countries is earlier than that in China. Most of the higher education quality assessment in China is teaching-oriented, while some scholars are teacher-oriented. Only a few scholars conduct teaching assessment comprehensively from the aspects of school, teaching and students. Foreign scholars regard students as the important object of teaching evaluation and give them the most important status. Based on the current research results, this paper constructs a student-centered and multi-perspective tourism higher education quality evaluation system from five perspectives: teaching resources, curriculum evaluation, teaching evaluation and monitoring, teaching output and overall satisfaction of students.
