Summary/Abstract: Tourism, a fast-growing branch of economy, has created a labour market which requires highly skilled personnel. The character of the majority of tourist products takes form of services requiring properly trained personnel. Recipients of these services perceive the quality of tourist services via competence of the personnel. The present paper attempts to establish if professional training of graduates of tourism and recreation university studies reflects the expectations of contemporary tourism. Empirical research was carried out by means of a diagnostic poll with the use of a questionnaire. The study encompassed graduates of undergraduate and graduate studies at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Biała Podlaska, University of Physical Education in Warsaw.
