Abstract

The paper presents results from a study, conducted in the beginning of the year, with the purpose to determine how the human resource management function is realized in Bulgarian tourist organizations and specifically to identify possible problems. The study includes fifty accidentally chosen organizations from the hotel keeping branch, of approximately equal size (from three to five star hotels with over 200 employees). Consecutively are presented the practices, connected with basic activities, composing the human resource management, as well as summary results from the analysis given as recommendations for the management.
It has established as a general conclusion that the practices connected with HRM in the investigated hotels, have some positive sides, but dominate the negative aspects that need an elaboration. The taking of actions directed towards improvement of HRM in these organizations is a consequence from the awareness that: 1) the quality of the tourist product in the hotel keeping is in direct dependence on the quality of the human resource, i.е. the policy for its management and 2) in the conditions of a global economic and financial crisis, not only the survival of the organizations but their prosperity as well, are connected mostly with identification and preservation of the quality part of their personnel.
