Summer break is approaching, but the Toubit project is already working in actions that will start this fall to foster the digitalisation of European tourism SMEs.
Go Digital Skills Programme
The last action of the LEARN pillar is the Tourbit Go Digital Skills Programme, a series of trainings offered through online live webinars, according to the level of digitalisation of the SMEs.
The Go Digital Skills Programme is designed considering the main findings on tourism SMEs readiness/maturity obtained through the Digital Readiness Index, the challenges pointed out by tourism SMEs in their proposal presented to the call of the Digital Acceleration Programme, as well as on the mapping of existing training and educational resources, as it intends to complement the existing offer.
