The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) is projecting a record-breaking year for Travel & Tourism in 2024, with the sector’s global economic contribution set to reach an all-time high of $11.1 trillion. According to the global tourism body’s 2024 Economic Impact Research (EIR), Travel & Tourism will contribute an additional $770BN over its previous record, generating an estimated one in every 10 dollars worldwide. As the sector grows and returns to pre-COVID levels it is important that the sector realises that it must look to reduce its carbon impact. It should also be to the fore in adopting new technology in order to become customer centric. The ST3ER programme has been introduced to assist the industry to achieve these dual goals.

Project Name :::: newa: छें Objective: The objective of this project is to give BBA-TT (Bachelor of Business Administration in Tourism and Travel) students a hands-on experience in tourism product development. Through this project, students will learn to identify market needs, design innovative travel products, and present ideas in a professional manner.

This is a great example of how Skills Bootcamps can help businesses and organisations introduce new skills.

Sustainable Tourism subject is must for any course degree

Education is the answer to the skills gap.

Hospitality and Tourism Education: The Catalyst for Africa's Hospitality Business Development Africa’s hospitality and tourism sector holds immense potential, but achieving its growth hinges on one fundamental driver: education. As highlighted by scholars like Baum and Szivas (2008), education in hospitality fosters human capital development, enabling professionals and entrepreneurs to deliver exceptional experiences, innovate solutions, and create sustainable business models. Through proper education, we can bridge skill gaps, improve service quality, and position Africa as a top global destination. Hospitality and tourism education doesn’t just address current industry challenges — it creates opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and global competitiveness. The African Hospitality and Tourism Education Summit 2025, taking place in the vibrant city of Lagos, offers a unique platform to explore these possibilities. This event is your chance to: Embark on Immersive Educational Tours and witness Africa’s cultural richness. Gain insights through Business-Driven Research and Development* sessions.

🌍✨ JOIN US FOR A FREE WEBINAR! ✨🌍 Tourists Go Home: Analyzing Barcelona’s Mass Tourism Challenge and the Role of Education Abroad Thursday, September 26th @ 12pm ET (60 Minutes) This past summer, images of local demonstrators with water guns and signs denouncing “mass tourism” marching down Barcelona’s Las Ramblas made international headlines. The media attention reignited an ongoing debate on post-pandemic “revenge travel,” ethical and sustainable tourism, and the implications for local communities and culture. Barcelona remains a popular study abroad destination, but its booming tourism industry often raises questions and criticisms about Barcelona as a place for cultural immersion and meaningful engagement. What role, if any, does education abroad and the sustained U.S. student interest in Barcelona play in this global and often heated debate? Join Barcelona SAE for this informative discussion – which will center Catalan voices and perspectives – as we analyze the root causes of “overtourism,” its implications for the city we treasure, and how education abroad can be part of the solution.
