ESTET Final Conference

On 1 December 1 in Społeczna Akademia Nauk in Warsaw took place the International Final Conference of the Erasmus+ ESTET project „Education and Training for Sustainable Tourism in Europe”. The event brought together representatives of VET institutions and tourism industry entrepreneurs involved in the management, promotion and development of tourism, especially sustainable tourism. Project partners presented their organizations and the results developed in the project. During the conference, participants listened to a panel discussion on how to integrate knowledge and skills in the field of sustainable development into vocational training programs and daily practices of tourism enterprises. Experts – scientists from leading Polish universities and representatives of the tourism industry presented the currently used solutions and discussed possible future directions of development. In the workshop part, the participants got acquainted with examples of the best practices of sustainable tourism. Together, they created a „travel plan”, taking into account the assumptions of sustainable development and tried to identify the challenges that the tourism industry will have to face in the future and find possible, real and concrete solutions to these problems. Together with the conference, last partner meeting was also held, summarizing the two years of the project.
