The main objective of the research is to clarify the roles of the different departments in tourism and hotel institutes, including the departments of front office, food production, food and beverage service, and housekeeping. It also aims to shed light on the current working conditions in these institutes according to the Ministry of Education's regulations. The research emphasizes the importance of the practical aspect in developing the tourism education system in these institutes, covering aspects such as construction, management, staff, and previously approved funding, as well as proposed funding methods by the researcher. The practical aspect also addresses the necessity of providing training resources in all four departments of the institute. Additionally, the research suggests two important proposals: firstly, the establishment of a training center within the Tourism Authority, and secondly, granting approval for the establishment of private tourism and hotel institutes according to Law No. 14 of 1996. The research concludes with important findings, stressing the contribution to achieving sustainable development in the professional tourism education sector. It highlights the need for collaboration between the government and relevant tourism entities, represented by the Tourism Authority, to address the challenges and impacts of Decision No. 54 of 2015 on the outcomes of professional tourism education.
