While vocational higher institutions are claimed to have failed to link with the industry needs, competency-based education (CBE) is expected to provide a solution for enhancing graduates’ competency. Despite its crucial role, studies on this area remains scarce. Thus, this study aims to investigate faculty members’ and students’ perspectives on the adoption of CBE in higher tourism institutions. To this end, 150 students and 10 faculty members were surveyed and interviewed. The quantitative data are analyzed with JASP for statistic descriptive, while the qualitative data are analyzed thematically. The results showed the implementation of CBE from two different perspectives. Both faculty members and students view the adoption of CBE as to meet their expectation. The investigation also reveals some implication for curriculum improvement, which aligns with the industry needs. The findings are expected to have theoretical, practical, and policy contribution on related stakeholders.
