Abstract

The marketization and professionalization of tourist attractions in China has given rise to the establishment of a system of Professional Managers in Tourist Attractions (PMTA). The PMTA is a social class with tourist attractions management as a profession, which is divided into three levels: assistant professional manager, professional manager and senior professional manager of tourist attractions. Professional managers at different levels should have the corresponding professional quality, professional knowledge, professional ability and skills. Professional quality can be refined into 2 elements of professional awareness and professional integrity, including 10 items such as political awareness. Professional knowledge can be refined into 2 elements of scenic management knowledge and scenic business knowledge, including 4 items such as basic knowledge of scenic management. Professional ability and skills can be refined into 2 elements of general ability and scenic business skills, including 16 items such as strategic decision-making ability. Different levels of the PMTA should have their own focus on technical, interpersonal and conceptual skills.
