The "Vocational Excellence, Policy, and Enterprise United for Hospitality Management Skills Adapted on Environmental Footprint Methods (GreenHost)" project focuses on two key needs in the hospitality and broader tourism industry. The first identified need is the lack of trained staff, exacerbated by the pandemic, as highlighted by some studies. The second need pertains to the requirement for sustainable operations and the reduction of environmental footprints in tourism, particularly in the hotel, transportation, and food industries.
