Spanish Abstract: Este artigo visa identificar os principais desafios e tendencias de qualificacao e formacao do turismologo, bem como sua insercao profissional no contexto de um destino turistico (DT) majoritariamente formado por Micro e Pequenas Empresas (MPE’S). Com base na literatura especializada sobre MPE e sobre qualificacao profissional em turismo, realizou-se uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa de cunho exploratorio aplicado aos responsaveis pela contratacao das organizacoes ligadas as Atividades Caracteristicas do Turismo – ACTS. Apos pesquisa bibliografica e analise de dados secundarios, a coleta foi baseada na tecnica de amostragem particionada optando pelas organizacoes de maior representatividade do setor. Os resultados indicam, por um lado, que as mpes representam 92 % do trade turistico e, de outro, que e baixissimo o indice de contracao de pessoal qualificado em turismo, o que tende a impactar na capacidade e qualidade de elaboracao de produtos turisticos. Ademais, identificou-se significativo desconhecimento das funcoes do turismologo por parte das MPE’S e um despreparo deste em apresentar habilidades e competencias aplicaveis a elas. Assim, conclui-se que ha duplo desafio, estrutural e sistemico, no sentido de qualificar as MPE’S, mas estas, por sua vez, precisam das habilidades e competencias dos turismologos, que todavia nao estao plenamente desenvolvidas. English Abstract: This paper aims to identify the main challenges and trends of the training and professional education in tourism, as well as their employability in the context of a tourist destination (TD) mainly formed by Micro and Small Enterprises (MSES). Based on the specialized literature on sme and professional education in tourism, we carried out a qualitative and quantitative exploratory study applied to those firms with Features Activities of Tourism - ACTS responsible for hiring at the TD. After literature review and analysis of secondary information, we proceed to the data collection which was based on the partitioned sampling technique choosing the most representative firms of the sector. The results indicate, first, that MSE’s account for 92 % of the tourist trade and, second, it is very low the rate of the tourism qualified personnel hired in by these SME, which tends to impact the capacity and quality development of tourism products. In addition, it was identified significant lack of tourism specialist functions by the sme and a lack of skills and competencies by the employees to apply to them. Thus, it is concluded that there are two, structural and systemic, major challenges: to qualify the sme, but these, in turn, need the skills and competencies of the tourism qualified personnel, which however are not fully developed.
