Supported by Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF)
This project addresses the urgent need for sustainability in the tourism industry, heightened by the impacts of COVID-19. It equips tourism and hospitality educators with the knowledge and skills to integrate green skills into their training programs. Recognizing the labor-intensive nature of the sector, the project emphasizes that a skilled workforce is crucial for implementing sustainable practices and meeting the rising demand for responsible travel.
