The planned positions are grouped into sections by type of publications: textbooks; teaching and methodological and practical manuals; monographs; collections of scientific papers and materials of scientific and practical conferences; other types of publications. The names of the planned educational publications correspond to the names of academic disciplines, and the circulations are considered to take into account the needs of the educational process.
The subject matter of the published materials is determined mainly by the curricula of the directions and profiles. The content includes management, tourism, economics, tourism pedagogy, personnel management, law, computer science, foreign languages, etc.
Among the authors are teachers, heads of departments, representatives of the Rector's office. Many of them have academic degrees of doctor or candidate of sciences, extensive experience in the system of tourism education and practical experience in the field of tourism.
