Technology will be key to the future of the next generation of tourism professionals

Would you like to know what job opportunities will arise from the emerging trends in tourism? Are you familiar with these new trends? What role does technology play in this new future, and how might it impact training and employment?

The answers were shared by Ingrid Graells, our commercial director at the UOC, a few months ago, and now, amid the ongoing debate about the professional needs of the tourism and travel sector, they are more relevant than ever.

In any case, we can tell you that professionals with tech skills will find a place in this industry, especially those who can create travel experiences “with commitment and respect”—experiences from which customers take home “more than just the trip itself.”

"Especially if they're also related to sustainability, 'because purpose-driven travel creates significant opportunities beyond leisure,'"Ingrid says in the video.
