In that regard, countries that want to get more shares from tourism movements have to follow the rapid developments in the sectorial sense and respond to changing customer expectations. In order to ensure high-quality service and guest satisfaction in tourism and therefore the continuity of the business, the qualifications of the people employed in the sector are extremely significant. There are many criteria and sub-criteria when employing the employees. Some of the main criteria discussed in the literature are communication skills, leadership skills, flexibility, decision making, communication skills, analytical skills, and consistency.
