Despite the current difficulties with training personnel in the hospitality industry, determining the vector of development, identifying a strategy from the options available today and a clear and consistent plan can help overcome the uncertainties that have arisen. The article suggests using the existing experience in the de-velopment of foreign and Russian universities with an emphasis on practice-oriented studying, holding various events with hotel enterprises at the stages of training line employees and managers, including scientific events in order to bring the principles of training and development of staff in the hotel and in the university as close as possible. The result of the implementation of the strategy proposed by the authors should be a new competitive educational environment in which, as in a business incubator, universities and hotel enterprises will jointly train professionals for the industry with an emphasis on technologies and emotional intelligence.
