ABSTRACT

Against the backdrop of the new era's ideological and political work system in higher education, the “Three-Dimensional Education” approach has emerged as a crucial concept for deepening the integration of professional education with value-oriented guidance. This paper addresses the practical teaching reform needs of applied undergraduate tourism management programs, using the Guangzhou Nansha Grand Hotel Practical Teaching Base as a case study. It systematically analyzes the functions and shortcomings of practical teaching bases in three dimensions—whole-staff, whole-process, and whole-spectrum education—regarding the integration of ideological and political education, university-enterprise collaborative education mechanisms, and the implementation and evaluation systems of practical courses. Research indicates that current tourism management practice bases commonly exhibit issues such as “emphasizing skills over values,” “prioritizing internships over education,” and “focusing on form over mechanism.” To address these issues, this paper proposes a transformation strategy centered on Party building and ideological-political leadership. Key pathways include: refining university-enterprise collaborative governance structures; establishing an integrated matrix linking curriculum, job roles, and ideological-political objectives; implementing a dual-mentor system involving both academic and industry mentors; and developing a practice-based teaching evaluation system that equally emphasizes both process and outcomes. This approach aims to evolve practice-based teaching bases from mere “skills training grounds” into “collaborative education communities.” The research conclusions offer replicable practical models for the development of practice-based teaching bases in tourism management and related programs at applied undergraduate institutions.
