Abstract
Disruptive innovation enables the success and economic growth of tourist destinations by introducing new products, services, or business models that radically change the existing market (Christensen et al., 2015), in such a competitive environment as the tourism sector. This study examined the current state of academic offerings in the tourism sector concerning disruptive innovation at the Higher Education Institutions of San Andrés, Isla. Furthermore, it highlights the significance of disruptive innovation in higher education as a key element for enhancing services in the tourism sector. The research was conducted through a review of existing literature in specialized databases, government websites, institutions, and semi-structured interviews with representatives from identified institutions. The findings revealed that, although there is academic provision in tourism on the island, the integration of content and practices related to disruptive innovation is limited. This suggests that Higher Education Institutions can further integrate these concepts into their programs to transform the local tourism sector. Despite initial challenges, the long-term benefits outweigh these obstacles. Updating the curriculum and strengthening academic offerings according to current trends will promote sustainable growth in the sector in San Andrés. Ultimately, disruptive innovation in higher education is a vital strategy for enhancing the competitiveness of the tourism sector, thus contributing to the island’s economic development and success.
