As Europe’s tourism industry undergoes a major makeover with sustainability and digital trends at the forefront, the real game-changer isn't just fancy new training programs—it's awareness. This under-the-radar factor ties together policies, education, and business strategies, helping small businesses and workers adapt effortlessly to new practices and technologies.
Our November article shines a spotlight on the power of awareness, showcasing how it transforms existing skills and future needs into real-world successes. Initiatives like the Pact for Skills and the Transition Pathway for Tourism are leading the charge by embedding this awareness into governance and destination management. Through examples from Slovenia, Finland, and Portugal, we reveal how a heightened sense of awareness is driving notable achievements.
Europe’s strongest asset is its people—empowered individuals who can spot, learn, and implement new skills to keep the tourism sector vibrant and resilient. By making skills more visible and accessible, the EU is enabling businesses and workers to capitalize on strategic opportunities, transforming awareness from a buzzword into a business advantage.
Find out how some destinations are making awareness part of their identity, attracting more partners, talent, and investment along the way. Dive into our full article to see how awareness is shaping the future of tourism.
