🌍✨ The Dig-Host: rethinking the non-hotel accommodation sector through digital upskilling pathways ✨🌍
The non-hotel accommodation sector has grown enormously in recent years, driven by the search for authentic experiences and the acceleration of digital transformation. However, many operators – often not part of the digital generation – are unprepared to face the new challenges of the market.
👉 This is where The Dig-Host comes in, an Erasmus+ KA210 ADU project aimed at closing the digital gap and making the sector more sustainable through targeted training pathways.
🔑 What the project includes
Creation of a Digital Learning Environment (DLE) accessible to all.
Development of a digital upskilling pathway with 4 training modules covering: use of OTAs, websites and disintermediation, social media for brand identity, and digital customer care.
Piloting tests with real operators in Italy, Germany, and Austria to validate and improve the content.
Multiplier events to disseminate results and share opportunities with operators, stakeholders, and associations.
🤝 The partnership
B-Plans srls (Italy) – project coordinator.
Insecia GmbH (Germany) – technological partner.
Bildungshaus Retzhof GmbH (Austria) – adult education center.
🌱 Why it matters
The Dig-Host contributes to:
reducing the digital divide in the non-hotel tourism sector;
making a key sector for local economies more competitive and sustainable;
offering new opportunities to young people, NEETs, and jobseekers;
promoting a more digital, green, and resilient tourism, in line with European priorities.
📢 We will soon publish a new post with more details and project contacts. Stay tuned!
