Promoting the development of local tourism is a concern for many countries, especially those that intend to adopt this practice as a means of diversifying their economy. This goal can only be achieved with the formation of human capital in this area. Thus, this article aimed to analyze how the formation of human capital at the Nimi Ya Lukeni Higher University Institute can contribute to the development of local tourism in Soyo. To this end, mixed research was used, with a greater predominance of quantitative research. Regarding technical procedures, the research is a single and documentary case study, based on the analysis of institutional documents and official records (course reports, statistics on enrolled students, among others). Qualitative data were analyzed through textual analysis, involving critical reading and interpretation of official texts, and numerical data were analyzed using the univariate descriptive statistics technique. The results achieved showed that the undergraduate course in Hotel and Tourism Management taught at INSPUNYL is focused on training professionals in the sector, capable of responding to the potential challenges in the area, both locally and nationally. However, it was noted that there was a low number of students taking part in the course in question.
