The data suggests that the employers are with higher expectation to some competence of tourism talents such as the oral expression ability, the ability to solve problems applying theory, the ability to analyze problems, the ability to bear hardships and stand hard work, the ability to identify problems, the ability to express by foreign language, the ability to teamwork, the ability to write, the ability to learn and adapt environments, the professional technical ability, the ability of communicate and coordinate and the service awareness for customers. The employers regard the ability structure as five dimensions such as the comprehensive quality and ability, the inter-personnel coordinative ability, the theory application ability, the practical ability and the language ability. The author finds some facts: the oral expression ability is very important, the theory application ability is more important than practical ability; the inter-personnel coordinative ability is the necessary quality of tourism talents and the ability to learn and adapt environments is more and more important.
