Spain’s State Secretariat for Tourism Launches Summer Course on Tourism Transformation Strategy
The
course aims to foster debate on the transformation of Spain’s tourism model,
currently led by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism. Particular focus will be
given to how governments can respond to environmental challenges, promote
social innovation, and foster balanced coexistence in the face of tourism’s
growing presence in everyday life.
The
Spain Tourism 2030 Strategy aspires to position the country as a global leader
in sustainable tourism, with people placed at the core of all initiatives. The
course seeks to broaden perspectives and provide a space for dialogue around
three major challenges: planet, coexistence, and social innovation.
Student
Scholarship Programme
To
encourage participation, the State Secretariat has launched a scholarship
programme for students, covering the full cost of tuition, accommodation, meals,
and transport between Madrid and the course venue in San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
Further
information about the course and application details can be found [here].
