Abstract
The rapid pace of tourism development has a critical need for professional staff. Higher education institutions
are the places where students acquire knowledge and skills in a particular field. In addition to
theoretical instruction, curricula also include practical work. Practical work is a system for training students
and preparing for their future profession. It is necessary to build a system of practice for students
in the field of tourism that will be sustainable, adaptable and compatible with the needs of employers
in the field of tourism and students. In this paper, a structured questionnaire examines the needs and
perceptions of students and employers for the practical work and challenges of contemporary trends
at the Faculty of Tourism and Business Logistics from University “Goce Delcev”-Shtip, Republic of North
Macedonia. The results suggest that the system of practical work should include understanding of the
needs of employers and students in the direction of transformation of traditional tourism and hospitality
operations into modern tourism and hospitality operations including information technologies
and digitalization. The positive implications of the system of practical work give the effect of satisfied
students who give meaningful remarks and conclusions from their practical work and employers which
consequently give the opportunity for employment of students with a grate skills and knowledge, and
enhance quality of tourism offer.
