TIS2023 will delve into how to attract talent and foster leadership in the new era of tourism
In
recent
months,
the
tourism
sector
has
been
facing
a
relevant
challenge
to
advance
its
competitiveness:
attracting
and
retaining
qualified
talent.
According
to
market
studies,
today,
in
the
European
Union,
11
percent
of
tourism
jobs
are
likely
to
go
unfilled.
TIS-Tourism
Innovation
Summit
2023,
the
international
summit
on
tourism
innovation
and
technology
to
be
held
in
Seville,
Spain,
from
October
18-20,
will
feature
prominent
leaders
in
Training,
Human
Resources
and
Business
Leadership.
Top
speakers
will
address
the
industry
roadmap
to
address
the
talent
shortage
in
the
sector
and proposals
on
how
to
attract
and
retain
the
right
people
to
serve
travelers
in
their
businesses
and
destinations
correctly.
One
of
the
top
voices
that
will
be
at
TIS2023
is
Tim
Leberecht,
writer
and
renowned
TED
speaker
who
has
inspired
hundreds
of
companies
to
promote
a
corporate
culture with
social
impact.
The
co-founder
of
The
House
of
Beautiful
Business
will
unveil
the keys
to
promoting
a
more
human
leadership
that
rekindles
the
romance
between
the company
and
its
employees
in
an
era
dominated
by
technology.
Juan
Carlos
Pérez
Espinosa,
global
president
of
DCH
–
Organización
Internacional de
Directivos
de
Capital
Humano,
will
present
the
factors
that
determine
the
current gap
in

the
sector.

this
lack
of
qualified
personnel
and
propose
strategies
to
create
resilient teams
that
guarantee
the
quality
of
service
and
improve
passenger
satisfaction.
Business
leadership
is
one
of
the
factors
that
contribute
to
improving
the
recruitment and
retention
of
profiles
in
the
tourism
sector.
This
competence
has
become
a fundamental
pillar
for
the
generation
of
value
in
the
tourism
sector.
To
this
end,
the Tourism
Innovation
Global
Summit
will
feature
relevant
specialists
who

offer
an inspiring
vision
to
improve
the
talent
landscape
in
the

will
talk

how
to
lead

authenticity,
motivate
teams

of
travellers.
