Tourism employment and education in a Danish context
Ida Marie Visbech Andersen
This chapter explores the role of tourism as an employment opportunity by looking at the size and key figures of the Danish tourism sector. Attention is drawn to Denmark's unique labour market conditions, which impacts employment in the tourism and services sector and discusses the challenges of seasonality, low education levels and digitalization. The chapter ends with a case study of a competency development project in Denmark and discusses how continuous education of small to medium-sized enterprises can leverage new digital knowledge and skills in order to help meet the challenge of low education levels in the sector.
