The present article presents the complex issues associated with social-partnerships in the field of specialized tourism education. In particular, the conclusion which is based on the analysis of educational programs of different levels and the opinions of experts and specialists in the field of tourism, showed the insufficient level of development of social partnership, which is reflected in the existing problems in specialized tourism education: lack of practical orientation of education, the correspondence between the competence characteristics of graduates of educational institutions of tourism profile and the needs of the labour market, the mismatch between the quantitative indicators of the labour market needs and graduates of educational institutions in terms of levels of education. The study also identified the problem of incomplete educational continuity in some areas of tourism education, which definitely has a negative impact on opportunities for social and academic mobility of students. As a result of identified problems we developed the content of the various activities in the context of social partnership, which is regarded as one of the most promising approaches for solving the existing problems of specialist education. The proposed interpretation of the activities in the context of social partnership in professional tourism education will be conductive to the level of satisfaction of employers with the results of the educational activities of the institutions; balanced professional qualification recruitment in the tourism industry, as well as the achievement of the best indicators of the quality of education and competitiveness of Russian education in the field of tourism.

Tourism And Hospitality

Language plays an imperative role in business as a means and a source of power. It is particularly important in the tourism industry when international customers may be unable to communicate directly with service providers in the receiving country, and this has a direct effect on the level of satisfaction that they enjoy during their experience. To address this issue, countries attempt to various degrees to manage their labour markets so as to produce a number of graduates from secondary and tertiary level educational institutions commensurate with the demand from the sector. However, this is quite a young industry at the global level, and it is not clear to what extent the number and quality of such graduates with international language ability will be required. This paper studies the comparative extent of such education at the tertiary level of individuals in both Thailand and Malaysia. It aims to compare the number and variety of people being trained in the tourism and hospitality industry and the extent to which languages are being taught. Results show that there is something of a disconnection between the languages provided and the languages that tourists desire in terms of their mother tongue. Those tourists who can speak English or Chinese may receive service support in those languages, while those who cannot may be disappointed.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of non-mega sporting events on the perception of negative externalities of host residents. The detailed aim of the study was to examine whether the inhabitants of the city feel the negative effects of organizing sporting events (communication problems or inappropriate behavior of supporters) and do they believe that these events increase the level of crime in the city or, despite these inconveniences, they are satisfied with the organization of sporting events in their place of residence. The case study is the city of Poznan and two, well-known events in this agglomeration. The first one is the Poznan Half Marathon—medium scale mass event, the second one is Cavaliada—elite international equestrian event. The theoretical part of this article presents the meaning of sporting events organization for tourism industry and indicates the positive and negative effects this kind of tourism brings to host cities. The whole refers to the theoretical foundations of the term of “overtourism”. The second part of the manuscript presents empirical research results, between 774 active and passive participants, which was conducted by the method of diagnostic survey. The results of this research show that both athletes as well as fans of the Half Marathon said that the Poznan Half Marathon event causes bothersome communication problems in the city and some other social problems. The inhabitants only experience minor inconveniences that felt as a result of organizing sporting events in the city. The negative impact of Cavaliada was very low. For checking the differences between the two examined groups of respondents: Half Marathon fans and Cavaliada fans, Chi-square test and U Mann Whitney’s test was used. The participants feel bothersome communication problems that cause the Half Marathon and have an average level of dissatisfaction higher than the average level of dissatisfaction of Cavaliada participants. Moreover, the participants in the Half Marathon have an average level of satisfaction with the organization of sports events in Poznan significantly lower than the average level of satisfaction of Cavaliada participants. Therefore, an elite equestrian sporting event is less burdensome for its residents and gives them more satisfaction.
