Area of activity and demand of specialist

The main goal of the professional activity of a specialist in the field of tourism is to make sure that every tourist who dreams of an ideal trip gets exactly the emotions and impressions that he imagined. The concept of tourism includes not only the process of travel, but also the entire system of its organization, from booking tickets, issuing visas to providing service in hotels.

The choice of professions in the field of tourism and hospitality is very diverse: tourism manager, employee of the tourist information center, visa service manager, hotel guide, MICE manager, guide, tour guide, etc.

The priority of the state policy is the development and promotion of the national tourist product in the Russian and foreign markets.

Saint-Petersburg is one of the most famous and promising tourist centers not only in Russia, but also throughout Europe. In 2018, the number of tourists in Saint-Petersburg reached 8.5 million people. The number of hotel companies of different levels in the city is growing rapidly, as well as the requirements of employers for the level of training and qualification of employees. Nowadays, the city has more than 400 hotels of category 3-5* and a large number of mini-hotels and hostels. The number of international hotel operators in Saint-Petersburg is 17, with 35 hotels under their management. These facts speak about excellent employment prospects for graduates in the field of hotel business. The current direction is the development of business and event tourism in Saint-Petersburg, which gives graduates an opportunity to try their hand at congress and exhibition activities and event management.
