Abstract
Human resources are a basic social and economic factor of development of each and every branch of industry. The same also applies to various segments in the structure of manpower in the hotel and tourism industry. This necessarily requires an appropriate educational system which is to deliver academic and practical knowledge to the current and potential tourism recruits and students of the hotel-management and other tourism-related studies. The chief objective is a quality-based performance of manpower and their inclusion into all segments of the managing system of the hospitality industry.
Imbalance and lack of coordination in the current hospitality programs and existing curricula between diversified educational profiles and actual requirements of the hotel and tourism industry have resulted in an iniciative to form within the Ministry of Tourism a separate working body or committee of distinguished tourism experts who will make a proposal for a consistent structure and functioning of a more appropriate educational system.
