This article analyzes the crucial role of practical training in hospitality education and its impact on students’ professional development. The hospitality industry requires not only theoretical knowledge but also strong practical skills, communication abilities, and customer-oriented attitudes. The paper discusses the relationship between theory and practice, the importance of internships, simulations, and real-life experiences, and the role of teachers and institutions in organizing effective practical training. The study shows that practice-based learning significantly improves students’ employability, confidence, and professional competence
