The aim of the article is to identify the principal changes in the requirements of employers (private and public sector) for the professional profile of future workers in the tourism and air transport services. Post‐covid quantitative and qualitative changes will be reflected in all activities of tourism and air transport management, such as strategic management, marketing communications or fast implementation of modern technologies. The already visible changes in demand and supply in both mentioned sectors are considered to affect fundamentally the future human resources management, training and education. Supply and demand trends in both sectors were analyzed to determine the main changes in the skill set requirements. Therefore, the method of analysis of basic strategic documents, research studies and statistical figures published by relevant international organizations is applied. The UNWTO, WTTC, ICAO, IATA and ILO organizations were selected to examine the issue. The ongoing revitalization of the air transport and tourism sector to the level of 2019 will last until 2023 ‐ 2025. There is a need to link theoretical and practical training, multifunctional and international partnerships as well as to coordinate the public, private and educational sectors in crisis management (Triple Helix Model). The unifying key element in both sectors is the emphasis on safety and security, health and hygiene measures, reflecting the use of technology, digitalisation, sustainability, management skills and other aspects. The requirements for soft skills, especially creativity, communication, flexibility or the ability to cope with crisis situations, certainly deserve special attention of educational service providers. The leading global organizations consider education and learning to be a key element of recovery plans.
