UNEVOC Initiative: Sustainable Tourism in the Digital Age
A group of international experts led by SFUVET – with support from the Paul Dubrule Vocational School in Hospitality & Tourism in Cambodia and the Boma International Hospitality College in Kenya – will address questions relating to the skills required in the tourism and restaurant sectors in a digitised and sustainable world.
SFUVET is leading a group of experts made up of 30 representatives from different continents (Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa) and international organisations. This group will operate within the framework of the ‘Bridging Innovation and Learning in TVET (BILT)’ project which is a peer learning platform aimed at providers of technical and vocational education and training. Together the group will look for solutions to integrate and implement digitalisation and sustainability skills into the tourism and restaurant sectors.

A BILT group of experts, commissioned by UNESCO-UNEVOC, is tasked with identifying trends in digital and sustainable skills. It aims to provide recommendations in the form of good practice examples. The results obtained will be published in November 2023.
