Examine how project-based learning with mobile GIS applications fosters geospatial competence in tourism education.
Conducted a project-based learning activity with 19 third-year tourism students at the University of Zaragoza.
Students utilized QGIS and QField to collect and process geospatial data in Zaragoza’s historic centre.
Assessment included a final report and a post-project questionnaire to evaluate skill development.
Most students demonstrated improvement in GIS skills and understanding of urban tourism dynamics.
Development of critical spatial thinking skills varied, indicating the need for stronger pedagogical support.
Overall, the approach enhanced technical skills, spatial thinking, and student motivation.
