This study aims to evaluate the development of tourism education within the context of ideational structure of vocational education in Turkey. By using the decisions of the National Education Council, it deals with the developments related to vocational education from a chronological and systematic perspective and tries to determine the breaking points. The study analyzes the development of vocational education with a historical perspective and by using the content analysis method. The findings show that there is no systematic coherence in decisions related to vocational education and that there are only five councils that have decided on tourism vocational education. We hope to guide the future National Education Councils for a more systematic and coherent perspective
