Presented are results of international comparative study of entrepreneurial intentions of students, specializing in industry of tourism and hospitality. Noted is, that the level of entrepreneurial intentions of Russian students is like the level of Polish and Lithuanian students. Usefulness or insufficiency of their education as to entrepreneurship, Russian students definitely could not estimate. Russian students in comparison with students from other countries attach less importance to both factors of attractiveness of entrepreneurship and inhibiting to such factors. Among inhibiting factors, Russian graduates are less focused on financial problems, and they also don’t think that “lack of support of family and friends” is inhibiting factor for entrepreneurship.

Key words: entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial intentions, industry of tourism, students, factors of influence.
