[Tesis ini mengkaji upaya liberalisasi jasa pariwisata dalam mode 4 dalam bentuk komitmen Indonesia yang tertuang dalam Schedule of Commitments dalam GATS dan AFAS. Jasa pariwisata termasuk dalam 12 sektor jasa yang diatur dalam GATS. Penulisan tesis ini menggunakan metode penelitian normatif. Secara normative diteliti aturan-aturan hukum yang terkait dengan jasa pariwisata, ketenagakerjaan, dan aturan-aturan yang terkait lainnya. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, komitmen Indonesia dalam MRA dalam bidang jasa profesional pariwisata di ASEAN yang diikuti Indonesia menunjukkan adanya kesesuaian. Dalam implementasi peraturan nasional Indonesia terkait MRA, beberapa sekolah tinggi pariwisata telah menunjukkan komitmennya dalam memajukan sumber daya manusia dalam bidang kepariwisataan. Pembangunan SDM dan pemberian sertifikasi dapat meningkatkan kompetisi dalam kerja internasional apalagi dengan dekatnya era Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN tahun 2016 mendatang.
