FITUR provides a space for networking, business meetings and the exchange of ideas among tourism professionals, travel agencies, tour operators, hotels and other related organizations. And obviously TOUR-X had to be there!
TOUR-X is a Center of Vocational Excellence (COVE) Project aimed at enhancing excellence in the tourism industry and coordinated by the Greek VET provider AKMI. The project envisions fostering excellence through a bottom-up approach, where education providers within the partnership enhance their capacity to adapt skills provision to the ever-changing economic and social needs of the sector.
Co-funded by the European Union, TOUR-X is led by a Consortium of 23 experienced partners, representing prominent Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers, key players in the tourism sector, and Regional Authorities across seven participating countries. Additionally, TOUR-X is establishing regional partnerships, known as Knowledge Triangles, in Germany, Greece, Italy, and Spain—four leading countries in the European tourism sector. These Knowledge Triangles bring together VET providers, business sector representatives, and public authorities to foster collaboration and contribute to regional development in the tourism sector. The Spanish Knowledge Triangle is led by Mundus.
With FITUR 2024 serving as a hub for exhibitors from various countries, industry professionals, policymakers, media representatives, and the general public interested in travel, it presented a perfect opportunity to introduce the TOUR-X project. Mundus, in collaboration with ASOFUER (Asociación de Empresarios Turísticos de Fuerteventura), Spanish partners in TOUR-X, actively disseminated project details among professionals, engaged in discussions with policymakers, and formalized Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) to solidify international collaborations.
Mundus also seized the opportunity to explore stands and connect with exhibitors from other countries, engaging in interesting discussions that could serve as a starting point for future cooperation opportunities.
