This research presents a comparative study of the quality of outputs from hotel schools in Egypt and Iraq, aiming to assess the impact of hotel education on enhancing graduates' skills and preparing them for the job market. By analyzing data related to graduates' productive, technical, leadership, and behavioral skills, the study highlights the differences in the quality of hotel education. The research employed a comprehensive purposive sampling method, selecting 250 teachers and supervisors from hotel schools in both countries. The results revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between the quality of hotel education and the improvement of students' skills. The findings also showed that Egypt has a relative advantage in integrating academic programs with industry requirements and in establishing effective partnerships with the private sector, which contributes to improving the quality of educational outputs. On the other hand, hotel schools in Iraq face challenges related to infrastructure and a lack of educational resources, negatively impacting the quality of graduates and their ability to compete in the job market. However, the research indicates that Iraq has significant potential to develop this sector by adopting innovative educational strategies and learning from successful experiences in Egypt and other countries. The study recommends enhancing cooperation between educational institutions and the private sector in both countries and updating curricula to keep pace with global developments in hospitality and tourism.
