Presidential decree: Personnel training system in the field of tourism and hotel industry will be 3 years

The presidential decree “On measures to improve the personnel training system in the field of tourism” was adopted.

From the 2024-2025 academic year, the system of personnel training in the fields of tourism and hotel management will be launched in state higher education institutions based on 3-year higher education programs, and the educational process will be organized in the form of dual education based on the “block-module” system.

In this case, the share of theoretical and practical training of educational processes will be as follows:

In the 1st year – 80% theoretical and 20% practical;
In the 2nd year – 50% theoretical and 50% practical;
In the 3rd year – 30% theoretical and 70% practical.

From August 1, 2024, it will be allowed to establish practice bases (tour operator, tour agent, guide-interpreter, hotel and tourism transport service facilities) without the status of a legal entity in higher education institutions that train personnel in the field of tourism.

Until January 1, 2027, the profit tax for the services provided in the practice bases of the higher education institutions training personnel in the field of tourism will be paid at a rate reduced by 50% compared to the tax rates established for this tax.
