The expediency of step-by-step formation of information competence of future managers of tourism in College by means of special algorithmization of the purposes, tasks, contents, methods, forms, conditions, technologies of training and management, including information and communication, and also an assessment of results at each stage is proved.

The characteristics of each of the stages of formation and development of information competence of College students are given. The basic conditions for the effectiveness of the algorithmic sequence for the optimization of the processes are determined. It is proved that the implementation of these conditions in the framework of the proposed three-stage model of formation and development of information competence of students in the main professional educational programs of tourism managers in the system of secondary vocational education provides a high level of this competence in future professionals.
