One of the main tasks of modern university professional education is to develop the sustainable mindset of future specialists. The development of a sustainable mindset within the study process can be achieved by combining professional competences with sustainability competences. The aim of this study was to promote a sustainable mindset in hospitality educators using a developed blended learning course. The content analysis method was used to discover changes in the hospitality educators’ mindset through learning journals and compared to three documents related to sustainability education. Learning journals of nineteen participants, recruited all over the world, were used to generate graphical representations. Results showed that educators’ learning journals are a rich source of feedback on the efficacy of the blended learning course “Discovering a sustainable mindset for future-oriented professionals in guestoriented businesses” and can be used as a part of the quality assurance process to improve the course.
