Historically, the Romania economy competed on low wages, but since 2007 close to 4 million citizens emigrated, eroding that advantage and increasing spending on students and pensioners. Romania is looking for alternatives, and tourism, could be a possible solution, but tourism education needs to become a priority. We surveyed 170 entrepreneurs and managers from the tourism sector to identify their perspectives on current employee's education levels along with the requirements for future educational initiatives. The primary research question in our study is whether or not a university degree makes a difference in an employee engaged in tourism.

从历史上看，罗马尼亚的经济以低工资竞争，但自2007年以来，已有近400万公民移居国外，削弱了这一优势，并增加了学生和养老金领取者的支出。罗马尼亚正在寻找替代品，旅游业可能是一种解决方案，但旅游业教育必须成为优先事项。我们对来自旅游业的170位企业家和管理者进行了调查，以了解他们对当前员工教育水平的看法以及对未来教育计划的要求。我们研究中的主要研究问题是大学学位对从事旅游业的员工是否有影响。
