Summary/Abstract: The development of the system of vocational education and training represents a priority assumed by Europe 2020 development strategy. Starting from the known relationship between the employee competence and the performance of a field of activity, we have analyzed the system of vocational education and training in tourism in three Black Sea riparian countries. We have highlighted similarities and differences, so that we can identify the right solutions for a significant quantitative and qualitative development. The option for tourism is based on the fact that, for all the analyzed countries, the development of this industry is a powerful incentive for the national economic growth. The study confirms the existence of a relationship of direct proportionality between the level of development of the vocational education system and the competitiveness of the tourism sector, and highlights the benefits of sustainable investment in the vocational education and training of the young people, and the costs of this process.
