Abstract

We consider the quality of vocational tourism education in terms of world trends of tourism industry development. We identify and describe the quality problems of vocational tourism education in detail from interested focus groups using empirical and theoretical methods. We also note that there is insufficient attention to the development and improvement of vocational tourism education in the world by UNESCO, a low level of scientific research in terms of assessment, and the absence of quality monitoring mechanisms of vocational tourism education level. We analyze the definition of “sustainable tourism” to ensure the quality of the tourism experience in three aspects: environmental, socio-cultural, and economic. As a result, we formulated the definition of vocational tourism education, considering modern business approaches to quality assessment. Besides, we offer innovative ways of partnership and cooperation in providing quality training for the tourism and hospitality industry at the international and national levels.
