Riga Management College representative participates in the project in Valencia, Spain “Tourism Digitalization and Smart Tourism Destination: Transition Pathway for Tourism”, as a part of FORTHEM Alliance mobility (University of Latvia).
The programme introduced participants to the smart tourism destination model. It will provide them with international skills and competencies for a digital world based on the EU values – such as respect for diversity, green tourism and sustainability.
Speakers have discussed topics on the digital transformation of tourism, coming from different branches due to the transversal nature of tourism activity – economics, social science, and data business, among many others.
Integrating knowledge from a project like “Tourism Digitalization and Smart Tourism Destination: Transition Pathway for Tourism” into a study programme can be a strategic way to align academic curricula with current trends and future needs in the tourism industry in Latvia. This approach ensures that education remains relevant and responsive to industry dynamics, ultimately enhancing employability and expertise in the field of smart tourism.
