General recommendations on the peculiarities of adherence to academic integrity by higher education students, teachers and the administration of higher education institutions (HEIs) in the training of specialists in international relations, tourism and hotel and restaurant business have been given.

It has been determined that academic integrity in the training of higher education students and their preparation for work in a particular field (international relations, tourism, hotel and restaurant business) in modern conditions is of key importance. The level of integrity in further work in the field after graduating from a higher education institution largely depends on it, which in turn affects the career, financial, economic and image-reputation success of the graduate. Manifestations of integrity for different areas of work are different, which should be taken into account in the formation and maintenance of academic integrity during training. The main core of the upholding of academic integrity in the training of specialists in international relations, tourism and hotel and restaurant business should be the formation of moral qualities and traits. An important incentive to increase the level of academic integrity for each individual participant of the educational process (including stakeholders) and in general for higher education institution and its educational units, may be the introduction and calculation of an integrated indicator of academic integrity, calculated using a number of criteria according to justified formulas, separate for the training of professionals in various specialties and fields of knowledge, taking into account their specifics. Emphasis has been placed on the need to take into account the dependence of the nature and level of conscientious work in the field after graduation on the level of academic integrity of a graduate of a higher education institution. Key words: academic integrity of participants in the educational process, training of specialists, rating of academic integrity, dependence of conscientious work in the field on the level of academic integrity, conscientious research in international relations, tourism and hotel and restaurant business.
