Abstract(s)
How may we secure a more sustainable path, in future, for the tourism
industry? Following the Covid-19 pandemic, which made evident some frailties and
need for change in the tourism industry, the tourism scenario has evolved, and a great
deal of upskilling and reskilling is now necessary. Consumer attitudes have altered
and are now more focused on sustainable tourism and other such related themes. This
study is an attempt to shed light on competencies and skills for tourism education
advancement—whether by universities or by VET. Hence, a bibliometric analysis
was performed as was a literature review. The bibliometric analysis identified some
key themes using the VOS viewer tool and the Scopus database. Digital skills, soft
skills, emotional intelligence, but above all the ability to seek out what one needs
to know (ability to self-determine and be self-motivated), in the era of technology,
stand out. The literature review identified green skills (×4), global skills (×4), digital
skills (×6), and digital apps (×4)—related to competencies and skills for tourism
education/training advancement.
