Abstract The tourism and hospitality sectors are vital contributors to India’s economic system, accounting for great employment and GDP boom. However, these sectors face a chronic abilities hole due to insufficient staff training, evolving enterprise requirements, and a lack of alignment among instructional curricula and realistic competencies. This paper examines the role of Human Resource (HR) strategies in addressing this project by way of developing a professional, adaptable, and enterprise-equipped workforce. The primary reasons of the competencies gap in India’s tourism and hospitality sectors stem from a mismatch among formal schooling and enterprise expectancies. The fast expansion of the industry, coupled with virtual transformation and growing purchaser expectations, needs a staff geared up with technical talents, tender talents, and digital talent. Despite a growing demand for skilled experts, the provision of activity-equipped candidates remains low, highlighting the need for powerful HR interventions. HR strategies play an important function in mitigating this hole by using implementing centered recruitment, schooling, and employee development packages. One of the handiest methods is collaboration between enterprise stakeholders, educational establishments, and authority’s bodies to design competency-primarily based curricula that replicate actual-world industry necessities. Additionally, HR departments can establish apprenticeship and internship packages that offer palms-on experience to college students, bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application.
