Sažetak
This paper focuses on establishing the level of the gap in the perception
of the importance of generic competencies among respondents
from different regions within a tourism destination in transition.
Montenegro and its tourism sector are taken as an example, with
its three geographical regions: coastal, central and northern region.
The research is based on a survey of respondents (employees in the
tourism sector and students on internship) in hotels, travel agencies,
tourism organisations, museums, national parks, ports of nautical
tourism and business units of airline companies. The study seeks to
establish the level of the gap in the perception of the importance of
generic competencies of respondents among the aforementioned
regions in the destination. In addition to identifying the differences,
the study seeks to identify the strength of links between certain
aggregate and individual generic competencies, among and within
the coastal, central and northern region of Montenegro, a country
whose tourism sector is in the transitional process of accession to the
European Union. This survey can serve as a good example for future
practical and theoretical research in the field of generic competencies
and regional affiliation of human resources.
