Postmodernism has been regarded as one of the most popular issues in the academia since 1980. The core of postmodernism is to emphasize the pluralistic culture and respect diversity. Postmodernism is considered as a epistemology and a methodology. The center of attention hospitality education research is on the human subjects; therefore, some issues need to be explored profoundly. On the research paradigm, the majority of hospitality papers are still using the quantitative research as methodology. For that reason, the methodology of hospitality research should be more diversified. This is a conceptual paper. The purpose of this article is from the postmodernism to confer the theme of hospitality education. The paper starts with the literature of postmodernism, then to bring up new apocalypses to hospitality education based on the ideals of postmodernism. Finally, the reflective thinking of hospitality education is presented from the view of postmodernism. The implications of the results for hospitality educators are discussed.
