The conference “DIGITALIZATION IN TOURISM SECTOR: NEW SKILLS AND NEW PROFESSIONS” will look at the late changes of the tourism professions due to the large use of web and social tools for tourism. In the conference the speakers will analyze the evolution of touristic professions and the digital skills required to meet the demand of the job market.

Experts from the tourism sector will discuss the new job positions that have emerged in the last years due to the digital innovation. The conference will be an opportunity to analyze the gap between trainings and the new needs of the market ;
The conference is realized within the project “IdEATE – Improved Employability and Apprenticeship in the Tourism Sector”, an 18-month project which is realized by an international consortium of 10 partners and is co-funded by the European Commission. The IdEATE project aims to foster and improve the image of tourism careers and enhance employability of students and unemployed, eventually providing training for SMEs and jobseekers.
