The ongoing digital revolution, the radical change in certain habits and behaviours, the evolution of certain segments such as MICE, the repercussions on the value chain and distribution are just some of the signs of the expected changes. In order to remain competitive, tourism enterprises, especially SMEs, will have to involve trained and\u00a0skilled human resources to face a &#8220;new tourism season&#8221;.\u00a0At the same time, even more traditional businesses such as hospitality, travel agencies, tour operators and events organisers <a href=\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/politicies-funding\/eu-call-invests-innovation-digitalization-tourism-sector\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">may need to adapt their business models<\/a> to new scenarios and opportunities, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/destinations\/subsciption-models-opportunity-restart-tourism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">subscription models<\/a>.<br \/>\nIn this context, lifelong learning is becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of re-training, i.e. in-depth retraining also through greater access to new technologies and practices. It will not only be a necessity for employees or the workforce, but it will have to involve all levels, including the managerial and entrepreneurial one.<br \/>\nMoreover,\u00a0educational and vocational training will also have to be updated to reflect the new emerging realities and scenarios.<br \/>\nAt the same time, human resources in tourism will have to develop new skills (upskilling)\u00a0since both modern working methods and scenarios will require new skills: smart working, e-commerce, data analysis, e-learning are just some of the innovations that are now becoming a pre-requisite for tourism businesses.\u00a0For this reason, the European Union set up a new <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/programmes\/erasmus-plus\/node_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erasmus+<\/a> programme and the ESF,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/esf\/home.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European Social Fund<\/a>, which will finance many of these projects.<br \/>\nFurthermore, <strong>incubators and accelerators<\/strong> will play an important role in enabling tourism SMEs and startups to scale their business, supporting them in adopting new practices especially related to new technologies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At Twissen<\/strong>\u00a0we observed that especially in the tourism sector there is an <strong>unprecedented need for training<\/strong>, transversal and above all at\u00a0any level,\u00a0even for trainers who will have to face the challenges of distance learning. But it is\u00a0exactly from the methods of training through new technologies that new business opportunities arise for companies that develop knowledge, not only because of the reduction of geographical distances, but also because of new synchronous\u00a0as well as asynchronous distance learning techniques.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The emerging challenges for the tourism sector lead to a growing need for training across all levels, with innovative methods of use and technologies that will bring new business opportunities for companies spreading knowledge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[125],"tags":[856,912],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Reskilling and upskilling in tourism: a need and a business opportunity | Twissen<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/reskilling-upskilling-tourism-need-business-opportunity\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Reskilling and upskilling in tourism: a need and a business opportunity | Twissen\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The emerging challenges for the tourism sector lead to a growing need for training across all levels, with innovative methods of use and technologies that will bring new business opportunities for companies spreading knowledge\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/reskilling-upskilling-tourism-need-business-opportunity\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Twissen\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TwissenIT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-04-22T07:22:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-01-21T10:32:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/210422_reskilling.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"518\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Francesco Redi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Francesco Redi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/reskilling-upskilling-tourism-need-business-opportunity\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/reskilling-upskilling-tourism-need-business-opportunity\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Francesco Redi\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/#\/schema\/person\/a32b2b3395dd0994697950c3aee2151a\"},\"headline\":\"Reskilling and upskilling in tourism: a need and a business opportunity\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-04-22T07:22:31+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-01-21T10:32:51+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/reskilling-upskilling-tourism-need-business-opportunity\/\"},\"wordCount\":427,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"EU Funding Programmes 2021-2027\",\"Training\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Policies &amp;
