This year’s World Tourism Day theme is Tourism and Sustainable Transformation, and it emphasizes the need for effective and people-centric “investment in education and skills, especially for youth, women, and communities at risk of exclusion” as a key part of the solution.

While the ongoing and growing need for investing in learning and development is clear, current and prospective tourism workers see a lack of appropriate opportunities. How can the tourism industry address this gap?

I our thought piece, we share ideas and insights on learning and development in tourism, and why investing in skills is investing in the future of sustainable transformation of our industry.

With brilliant examples of initiatives and networks providing people-centric training and skills building opportunities for young professionals and emerging entrepreneurs, such as
💡 Sustainable Travel & Tourism Africa and its Young Change Makers (STTA-YCM) Programme
💡 WeNaTour project EU Specialization Programme in Sustainable Tourism for future destination managers
💡 Young Tourism Network (YTN) in Victoria, Australia connecting students and industry professionals.. and more!
