Beginning in 2015, a vocational training program was created for students of tourism and hospitality using virtual and augmented reality. This ongoing research in the power of immersive learning applied to vocational training in the tourism and hospitality industry has had a few milestones worth reporting to tourism education professionals. Due to the pandemic forcing this program to shift to more distance and asynchronous delivery, it has evolved into something that might be telling as to how the tourism industry is set to be disrupted by the proliferation of immersive technology like virtual and augmented reality.
