The peak of the tourism industry in West Nusa Tenggara before the COVID-19 pandemic suggested that its position was already in the stagnation stage according to TALC (Tourism Area Life Cycle). Also, the stage can be aligned with PLC (Product Life Cycle) which is known as the maturity stage. This research extracted opinions from tourism industry stakeholders by using multiple FGD (Focus Group Discussion) and summarized the result into a recommendation to avoid the declining stage of the tourism industry, especially in West Nusa Tenggara. One of the main conclusive answers is optimizing e-tourism at an innovative pace. However, this step does not only need good commitment, support, and collaborative intention from whole stakeholders but also good preparation from local human resources to support its sustainability. This preparation should be fulfilled by local vocational higher education in West Nusa Tenggara which is known as Tourism Polytechnic Lombok.

It is found that the learning outcomes laid down in the educational standards are determined by the manufacturer of educational services, they are more oriented to the needs of large tourism enterprises, and do not meet the needs of employers at least because most tourist enterprises and organizations in the country are small and medium in size. Training programs shall be focused on regional tourism markets, since the requirements for tourism professionals differ depending on the type of tourism activity, the size of the enterprise, the region of its operation. Owners of tourist complexes in Transcarpathia prefer to see at their enterprises multi-skilled managers (specialists), who are immediately ready to fulfill their functional responsibilities in their primary positions.
