Education is a long-term investment. The development of technology and digitalization bring many impacts in all fields, including the field of education. In the world of education, technology and digitalization have changed traditional learning systems into digital-based learning systems. This means, the educational curriculum must incorporate elements of technology and implement the technology into learning activities to make it more interesting and effective. The implementation of education is basically to equip students with the abilities and skills needed by the world of work in the future. Therefore, the right learning strategy is needed so that the abilities and skills possessed by students increase and are qualified. This study aims to determine digital-based learning strategies in the hotel industry in Indonesia. This research is a type of descriptive qualitative research. Research findings show that in the era of digitalization, students must be equipped with independent learning strategies to deal with digital-based learning. Digital-based learning is learning that utilizes technology in the learning process effectively, so that both students and teachers must adapt quickly to these changes. One strategy in digital-based learning is to use digital learning  media platforms to convey information. Digital learning media platforms will make learning more interesting. The implementation of digital-based learning will face obstacles related to human resources, so teachers must be sensitive and technologically literate to be able to use appropriate digital learning media platforms. The success of implementing digital-based learning strategies is also encouraged by good communication between teachers and students in using technology, so that learning objectives can be achieved. Providing positive feedback to students will also improve student learning performance. So, to develop a good digital-based learning strategy requires good cooperation between students and teachers.
