The NTG Skills gaps & future skills need research output is a comprehensive pack of insights created by the Next Tourism Generation Alliance which follows the NTG Tourism Skills Assessment Methodology, a research method built around three key skills sets that form the basis for the next step in skills development for the European Tourism Sector.
Survey results
The start of the Tourism Skills Assessment in the UK must begin with the current view on the tourism subsector, a complete look at what is driving the tourism subsectors from the current skills gaps and competencies that underpin the need for future skill sets, aiming to get an initial snapshot of how the (next generation) tourism professionals are functioning and the overall future perspective of the UK fostered within the tourism sector.
