The updated NOS and certification will be used by educational and industry partners to provide industry recognised competencies and credentials to students and workers in the tourism sector. In addition, CTHRC will develop and implement a standards-based accreditation process to ensure that tourism educational programmes met industry quality expectations. Related to this work, and to help bring people with the right skills to the tourism sector, the European Commission has identified a detailed list of the specific skills and competences related to the main jobs and qualifications characterising three sub-sectors of the tourism industry, namely adventure, blue and cultural tourism, in order to improve and increase job matching at European level (Box 16).
