As stated in the Tourism Strategy of Turkey in 2023, education and training regarding tourism should focus on vocation and should contain measurable outcomes. The education and training in tourism should target at raising awareness on tourism sources, protecting the touristic values and maximizing touristic contribution to the national economy. The organizational capacities of the institutions that give training in tourism should be improved for better quality education and training. The reputation and profitability of the sector depends on maintaining the training quality. Training and education programs should be prepared through appropriate findings of analyses of current changes and possible future changes. “Quality awareness in education” should be raised in vocational training centers and the society. The main priorities of the sector are standardization, appropriate assessment and evaluation, productivity at international levels, the development of service quality and improvement in the skill levels for employment. While identifying the academic education policies that will lead the development of managers and researchers who will give direction to the sector, vocational training and education for highly qualified personnel should simultaneously be taken into consideration. The priority should be on creating the highly qualified and adequate labor force to the sector.
