Developing international-standard tourism human resources in Vietnam

Vietnam’s tourism industry has increasingly become a vital economic sector, making significant contributions to GDP and generating employment for millions. However, the quality of tourism human resources remains inadequate to meet the demands of deepening international integration. This study examines the current state of tourism workforce training in Vietnam, highlighting key challenges such as the shortage of skilled personnel with internationally recognized qualifications. Based on this analysis, the study proposes targeted solutions, including enhancing international cooperation in training, innovating curriculum design, and improving foreign language proficiency and vocational skills among tourism students to align with global standards.
