摘要：The competitiveness of Croatian and Slovenian tourism on the international market is based on success in carrying out operational tasks but also on the preparation and implementation of strategic and other projects. These projects are of key importance for tourism’s growth and development, and for the business systems operating in this branch of the economy. Successful project management is of major importance for the competitiveness of business systems in the tourism sector, although not enough attention has been given to this issue until now. Neither has sufficient attention been paid to the role played by employees in tourism projects and to their motivation and sense of belonging to an organisation. For projects to be successful, a certain level of training is required for persons dealing with requesting, managing and participating in project execution. The current tourism educational system in Croatia and Slovenia does not develop the necessary competences, knowledge and experience in project management. The authors of this paper propose amending the existing tourism education system with elements of project management in line with the international system for the development of project management competences according to the International Project Management Association (IPMA).
