Objectives

The Tourism LSP work and objectives are defined in a Baseline Document that provides a summary analysis of the situation and the main lines of action.   It has set an ambitious goal: to upskill and reskill 60% of the tourism workforce by 2030. For this reason, it sets the vision of 12 objectives and indicators to be achieved by 2030 across Europe. These include:

Workforce Retention
and Attraction

Hands-on Training
and Learning

Skills Gap
Prevention

Specifically, the 12 objectives and indicators are as follows:

  1. Establish National/Regional Skills Groups in all tourism regions of Europe, involving all key stakeholders.
  2. Upskill and reskill 10% of the tourism workforce annually from 2022 to 2030, addressing current and future skills gaps.
  3. Ensure 100% awareness of upskilling/reskilling needs among workers and employers, and achieve 50% coverage of effective career guidance and support services.
  4. Engage workers and their representatives in designing, planning, implementing, and evaluating training initiatives.
  5. Expand blended learning models (e.g., apprenticeships, internships), especially for green and digital skills.
  6. Increase up/reskilling activities and participation by 40% for the employed workforce, and by 80% for unemployed until 2025.
  7. Raise the number of successful training certifications by 10% per year.
  8. Integrate informal and lifelong learning outcomes into formal qualifications.
  9. Achieve an average of 50 hours of training per participant per year.
  10. Update regional skills needs annually, and identify at least two new skills and three new occupational profiles each year for targeted training.
  11. Implement real-time skills gap detection through data-sharing systems.
  12. Upskill 20% more individuals from disadvantaged groups (compared to their share in the workforce) to promote inclusive labour market integration.
