▶Objectives
EPIC STAYS will develop a new VET offering and upskill European tourism businesses leading to the development of new, alternative tourism accommodation (ATA) in Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Italy and Slovenia and thereafter across Europe. By 2025, we will upskill 50+ VET educators and 500+ VET learners with knowledge, current facts and best practices regarding ATA and its potential to address the EU accommodation crisis, climate change, changing consumer trends as well as market opportunities.
▶Impact
EPIC STAYS will innovate the work of the partners and our associates by introducing a new VET tourism training offering to their work and help them become Europe’s first experts in this field. The alternative tourism accommodation market is poised for growth, making EPIC STAYS of high value to European tourism SME’s, particularly those in remote, rural regions in Europe. Ultimately, the project will help refocus European tourism VET for a more sustainable, resilient and prosperous future.
