        abstract = {Insights from seasoned hospitality educators reveal a significant cultural shift in hotel management students across generations. Based on interviews with 50 faculty members, each possessing over a decade of teaching experience in hospitality education, the study uncovers evolving patterns in student behaviour, mindset, and professional orientation. A structured questionnaire guided in-depth personal interviews, capturing perspectives on changes in student discipline, learning preferences, industry awareness, and adaptability to technological advancements. Responses highlight a transformation from traditionally passive, authority-respecting learners to proactive, digitally fluent, and globally conscious individuals. Educators also observed heightened interest in entrepreneurship, sustainability, and experiential learning. The analysis emphasizes the need for hospitality curricula and teaching methodologies to align with the dynamic cultural landscape of modern learners, ensuring relevance and engagement in a rapidly changing industry.},
