Abstract

One of the issues of the tourism ideology is its potential in creating job opportunities and revenue. To some sceptic analysts, this ideology is more myth than reality. One of the main strategies to make tourism a real alternative to development in a time when unemployment is one of the most disturbing problems of Brazil would be the professional formation to boost the creation of market opportunities. To analyse the theses of tourism employment, this study is based in some of the social and economic theories, and the models of qualification and competence are applied to understand the complex relation between the professional formation in the sector and the transformation of the work market.
