The 2024 report by UNESCO-UNEVOC outlines methods to support the dual transition in the hospitality and tourism industries. It highlights the importance of timely identification of new green and digital competencies, their integration into progressive curricula, and their effective application in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). By drawing on examples from Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, the report provides practical recommendations for policymakers and practitioners. The goal is to equip learners with the skills necessary for a sustainable and technologically advanced future in hospitality and tourism.
