Industry workshop 1
Human capital: opportunity or biggest challenge?
Workshop organisers:
Lobke Elbers – Breda University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands
Simone Romijn – Hogeschool Zuyd, the Netherlands
Let’s explore human capital and its impact on the tourism, leisure and hospitality landscape. This workshop is designed to keep you up-to-date with the latest insights of the most in demand competencies and provide practical insights to enhance your knowledge on human capital. In this 1,5 hour workshop, you’ll delve into the 4 elements of employment in tourism, leisure and hospitality; attracting & retaining talent, current skills gaps and future skills needs. Learn from how to create an outstanding culture where people genuinely want to work and understand the critical components of employee experience and apply them effectively. We explore the intersection of business, education, and a successful HR strategy.
Industry workshop 2
Measuring resident benefits: Exploration of indicators and methodologies
Workshop organisers:
Jeroen Klijs – Breda University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands
Elisa van den Heuvel – Breda University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands
Simon Witt – Hogeschool Zuyd, the Netherlands
The theme of this workshop is resident benefits and is linked to the CELTH project “measuring resident benefits: exploration of indicators and methodologies”, developed in correspondence with Perspective Destination Netherlands 2030 (NBTC, 2019) and the advice for desirable tourism by the Council for the Environment and Infrastructure (2020). To develop sustainable tourism, it is necessary to pay attention to one specific target group: the local residents. This is because, on the one hand, tourism can have an important influence on the daily lives of residents while, on the other hand, residents play an important role in welcoming visitors. In this regard, a shift from managing and mitigating tourism impacts to maximizing perceived resident benefits is central in this approach.
During the workshop we will provide insights into the definition and framework of resident benefits, elaborate on its relevancy and need, hold a panel discussion with participants from the academic and professional field and provide possibilities to the audience to interactively engage in the discussion.
The objective of this workshop is to discuss conceptual and practical insights on how to:
• Measure the benefits of tourism for residents
• Make residents aware of these benefits
• Develop interventions to improve the benefits
