out on the American continent, while Australia, China, the Philippines, and Japan stand out in
the Asia-Pacific region.
Tourism experts emphasize the high quality of tourism and hotel management education
programs at Cornell University in the USA, the Institute for International Hotel Management
(Institut de Management Hotelier International) in Switzerland, and the Institute for Tourism at
the University of Economics of Vienna (Institut fur Tourism mus und Frezeitwirts craft) in
Austria.
A serious problem that restrains the development of tourism in Uzbekistan is the currently
inefficient system of training tourism personnel. Until 1992, neither in Uzbekistan nor in the
territory of all republics that were formerly part of the USSR, there was no experience in training
specialists in tourist and hotel structures operating in market conditions. Therefore, in the first
universities of the republic, preparing tourism managers, the preparation of curricula, programs,
the organization of the entire educational process was carried out mainly empirically, without
sufficient scientific justification.
Now the republic is working on the training and retraining of professional personnel for the
tourism industry, education in the field of tourism and the hotel industry is developing and
improving dynamically. Of course, it is too early to compare the Uzbek tourist education with a
foreign one, where it has existed for 70-100 years, but there is hope in about ten years to catch up
with Western countries on this indicator.
On the one hand, professional tourism education in Uzbekistan has insufficient experience. On

associated with the tasks of developing the global tourism market, in which Uzbekistan still
plays the role of a supplier. But gradually the reorientation of the domestic tourism industry
occurs to the priority development of more favorable for the economy of Uzbekistan or more
affordable for most of our compatriots’ inbound and domestic tourism.
Today we can say with confidence that shortly domestic tourism will prevail over outbound or
balance it. This will entail a change in specific professional requirements for future employees
and managers of tourism and hospitality enterprises.
World experience in the development of the tourism industry indicates that the professional
education of employees is a prerequisite for the successful operation of the enterprise.
For example, if in conditions of the predominance of outbound tourism, the most important in
training personnel for this industry was fluency in foreign languages, information technology and
knowledge of the fundamentals of international law, then the development of domestic tourism
will require good knowledge in the tourism industry, planning tourist flows, tourist resources of
certain regions, etc. So, today, when preparing future personnel, it is necessary to take into
account emerging trends. There is a need for the training of specialists of a new type,
extraordinary thinkers, with wide knowledge and skills in related fields.
A field of activity such as tourism and the hotel industry is extremely diverse and complex.
These are state structures and educational institutions, enterprises and firms, public organizations
and private individuals. The main goal is organically fit into this system of relationships. And
what can the education sector offer to this system? Naturally, provide qualified graduates who
are ready to work in the field of service and tourism in their professional, moral and
psychological qualities. Specialists who cannot only send our compatriots abroad but also,
