Abstract

With the major victory in the prevention and control of COVID-19 in China, the tourism industry is accelerating into the stage of full recovery, the demand for tourism professionals is strong, and the shortage of talents is becoming more and more serious. However, in recent years, the employment intention of tourism management graduates in colleges and universities is not high in the industry, there is a phenomenon of “low employment rate, high turnover rate” and “some jobs can’t be filled”, the fundamental reason is that college students' professional recognition of tourism management is not high. In recent years, there are more and more researches on professional identity in domestic academic circles. By reviewing, sorting out and evaluating the research results of various scholars, this paper puts forward some thoughts for the follow-up research direction of college students’ professional identity, and provides ideas for improving the quality of college students’ talent training for tourism management majors and solving the problem of shortage of professional talents.
