Project title is “Blue Skills for Professionals in the Coastal Tourism Sector” and aims to equip professionals in coastal tourism with essential skills to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. Recognizing the need to balance economic growth with ecological responsibility, this project addresses the demands of the coastal tourism industry by providing competencies aligned with the principles of the blue economy. By focusing on sustainable tourism practices, the project seeks to contribute to the preservation of coastal ecosystems and the promotion of socially responsible tourism.
Targeting professionals in key roles, the project seeks to address the gap in skills necessary for integrating sustainability into their practices. These stakeholders often lack access to structured training in areas such as sustainable tourism principles, ecosystem preservation, and the use of technological tools for monitoring coastal changes.
Furthermore, the growing demand for sustainability certifications highlights the need for industry-specific education to meet international and regional standards. Coastal professionals face increasing pressure to align with these frameworks to ensure ecological responsibility and enhance their marketability.
This initiative addresses the pressing need for skill development while aligning with the broader priorities of the blue economy, which emphasizes environmentally responsible economic practices that protect marine ecosystems while supporting economic growth. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
