Description of the training program
According to recent studies, the dominant trends in tourism for the coming years will be: an increasing trend towards individual travel, the search for and development of alternative forms of tourism, a reduction in the average age of tourists, and a focus on health, safety, and environmental indicators when choosing a destination. The economic and energy crises, inflationary pressures affecting all of Europe, the war, and geopolitical instability necessitate a different perspective on tourism.
It is clear that despite the positive steps taken in Cypriot tourism, there is a pressing need to change the prevailing model and create a new one with elements that will enrich the country’s tourism product and enhance the competitiveness of Cypriot tourism under the new conditions. Sustainable tourism with an ethical dimension is the key challenge of the time.
The new and sustainable tourism development model requires planning and vision. The responsibility for shaping this plan lies with both the State and the involved business entities and civil society organizations.
Innovative Elements of the Training Program:
- A new methodology for a sustainable approach to modern tourism.
- A holistic approach, defined by four pillars: (A) Sustainable management, (B) Socioeconomic impacts, (C) Cultural impacts, and (D) Environmental impacts.
- Flexibility, determined by the possibility of gradual engagement according to the resources available to each interested business.
- Suggested changes to the main characteristics of the existing tourism product to address modern issues and enrich it with new products and services.
The topics of the training program is ideal for:
- Owners actively involved in and employed by the business
- General Managers and Operations Managers.
- Heads of Organizational Units (Departments or Sections) responsible for decision-making in the aforementioned areas.
- Executives who may potentially be directly involved with one or more of the four sustainability criteria groups.
