Under the background of China’s National Education Digitalization Strategic Action 2.0 (2025), this study focuses on teachers in tourism vocational education as the research object. By integrating practical cases from multiple vocational colleges, it systematically analyzes the impact of digitalization on the reconstruction of teachers’ teaching capabilities. The research finds that teachers must transition from knowledge transmitters to learning facilitators, with core competencies encompassing digital resource development, learning data analysis, and interdisciplinary resource integration. Practical challenges include insufficient adaptability of educational resources, persistent traditional teaching inertia, and outdated training systems. The research provides theoretical support and practical references for advancing the digital transformation of tourism vocational education.
