This chapter aims to conceptualise and define the DBL learning environment within the context of hospitality education, grounding its exploration in the underlying philosophy and pedagogical principles of DBL. It examines how this philosophy translates into key components. In doing so, the chapter seeks to clarify how these components interact to create a dynamic, practice-oriented learning environment.
