The tourism and hospitality industry is a growing industry where Filipinos can always find many economic opportunities either as employees or as entrepreneurs. Thus, the development of our country's human capital must remain a priority by the government and the education sector.

This book is a pioneer in the sense that it contains practical do-it-yourself exercises for students and CD-based Powerpoint presentations as a teaching resource material for Human Resource, tourism and hospitality educators. It is the very first book of its kind published in the Philippines. The book contains well-written and engaging chapters that include topics like introduction to the field of human resources, HR planning and organization, personnel management, training and organizational development, industrial relations, global and local challenges in HR management, and anticipated HR trends by 2020.
