Experiential learning is a well-established educational practice in higher education and includes several different activities, from work placements to other university hands-on experiences. However, to date there is no clear understanding of the various types of experiential activities used in tourism and events programmes, especially in relation to what they feature and how they are interrelated. This research note critically reflects on four experiential learning projects conducted in Ireland, England and Italy between 2012 and 2022. It suggests conceptualising experiential learning activities as a continuum, according to an evolution of involvement of the students with the activity and the stakeholders, as well as an evolution of intensity and complexity from the organisational point of view, including levels of control and risks. Conceptualising the experiential learning activities being used in tourism and event programmes is important for evaluating their relative suitability for both students and institutions.
