Abstract

At the present stage, the fundamental objective of the university is the formation of a quality specialist, ready for practical work, able to adapt quickly to environmental changes, find flexible and optimal solutions, use modern technologies, identify influences of the external environment on the field of professional activity. In this context, it is important to improve the training process of specialists in the field of tourism by modernising the study programs according to the needs of the labour market. Under market economy conditions, a particular attention should be paid to organizing and conducting the practice internships, because the practical skills are achieved by the students from the “tourism” specialty, mainly in this type of activity (the practice of initiation and technology).
