Building Digital Skills for Tourism
‘Check-In’ to the Digital Age:
Upgrading Our Tourism Talent
The tourism sector has been significantly impacted by the pandemic, underlining the pressing needs for accelerated digitization in this sector. According to reports, a significant percentage of the tourism workforce has low-level qualifications, making them one of the most under-skilled populations in the European Union.
Navigating the Shift:
Why Tourism Needs a Tech Tune-Up
To address the needs for digitization and to increase the competences of the workforce, it is important to explore strategies for mitigating the expenses associated with acquiring, installing, updating software and providing staff training.
The Digi-Tour-Skills project focuses on identifying the gaps within the tourism sector, digitalising it and offering digital training through webinars and practical case studies to increase the knowledge of:
- Adult learners
- Tourism SMEs
- DMOs
- Tourist agencies
The Digital Departure:
Leaving Outdated Skills Behind
Besides these, the project aims to contribute to the daily lives of European Union residents with improved and sustainable operations in the tourism sector.
