Abstract. Recommendations for professional education and foreign language training in tourism are accepted by all specialists as a meaningful innovation that will lead to better quality results. In most educational programs and concepts related to Bulgarian tourism problems, only analyses and generalizations are used. The educational system is looking for how to achieve the effect through educational processes and what strategic moves to bet on that have progressive development. The trends related to improving the quality of tourism education and the culture of service, as part of the educational process innovations, are becoming increasingly important. According to Peter Drucker, the emphasis for tourism management is: "Innovation and entrepreneurship - practice and principles". Educational programs and the way of teaching the material are conditions for success related to continuous innovation and the improvisation of leading knowledge and skills. The connection with the practice should be endless and cyclical, and the mentors should be the basis of the practical implementation. Only in this way will innovations in education witness the attention of the human resource and stimulate it to grow. Credits in professional disciplines in higher education between tourism and higher schools should be standardized to be recognized and have the possibility of upgrading in practical training.
