Portugal is going through a period of challenges with a lack of human resources in different sectors of activity and tourism and hospitality is one of the areas where these challenges are most notable.
What factors are behind this lack of human resources? Is it the demographic crisis in Europe, is it the attractiveness of the sector, is it the training and qualification of resources?
What strategy and measures can we adopt? What is the role of each of the participants? Will artificial intelligence help solve the problem? How to frame and integrate migrant communities?
A nova área de turismo e hospitalidade da Universidade Autónoma organiza esta conferência, onde irá procurar dar resposta a estas e outras questões.
The conference will consist of 3 panels that will seek to show the vision of public entities, educational institutions and companies, with the presence of experts in the tourism sector.
