It broadens the outcomes of the Blueprint on Sectoral Cooperation to address skills needs and overall higher qualification of the tourism workforce, reducing job insecurity and improving working conditions. The Pact aims to upskill and reskill 10% of the workforce each year from 2022 to 2030.

PANTOUR
project is the continuation of NTG - Next Tourism Generation Alliance, so a Blueprint which aims to map out competencies in tourism and hospitality as they evolve, with a perspective until 2030.
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE
The Pact for Skills in Tourism will yield best results where needs are concrete and practical political decisions can be taken: in the member states of the EU and its regions. For this reason, the first of the 12 above-mentioned objectives is setting up National or Regional Skills Partnerships (NRSPs).
These partnerships include representatives from all sub-sectors and sizes of tourism services, education and training system, destinations, and the public sector. They shall set up an annual work programme around concrete objectives that address concrete issues related with skills in their area. This will include detection of gaps between required and existing skills levels; new skills, competences and/or occupational profiles required for the sector; concerted design and planning of annual training programmes etc.
NEXT STEPS
Inform your organisation about your wish to participate.
