Entrepreneurship Education of Future Travel Managers

The study provides the theoretical justification of the structural components of the readiness of future travel managers for realization of various investment projects in the professional entrepreneurship activity: motivational and personalized one, which stimulates the further realization of design processes; content-cognitive, which covers the acquisition of knowledge about the keystones of investment management; and activity-practical, which is associated with the professional engagement of the acquired skills and abilities. There were specified the general criteria (motivational, cognitive, and procedural), indicators and levels (low, medium and high) of formation of the readiness of future travel managers for realization of various investment projects. It was established that the indicators of the motivational criterion include the personalized belief in the need to acquire the knowledge and skills of investment management; the cognitive one—knowledge of the business engineering procedure; and procedural one—the ability to process and interpret the figures using the basic knowledge, required for realization of the project activities in the tourism sphere.
