ESTour
The ESTour project aims at training and certifying people who have been working in the hospitality sector and would like to update their skills related to the new health and safety protocols and new digital technologies in regards to an effective response to epidemic crises’ impact. The main goal of the ESTour Expert is to be able to work at an operational level, namely conduct an operational plan by creating and implementing staff protocols and guidelines, retraining and monitoring staff regarding infection control, physical distancing and hygiene measures, and to know how to use the new digital technologies for implementing clients’ social distancing during epidemic crises.

JULY 2023
The 4th Transnational Meeting and the Training Activity took place in Larissa, Greece from July 10-13.
The meeting outlined the progress of the project thus far, and detailed the next steps, including the dissemination and exploitation strategy, the work allocation, and the sustainability plan.
The Training Activity was organised in order to train the trainers and facilitators; those, who in the following months, will need to deliver the ESTour training material in their countries, while implementing activities for pilot training the ESTour Experts and validating the training material of the ESTour project at their national context. Each partner delivered a demo training of the materials developed, presenting their methodology behind the developed training to the rest of the trainers so as to become familiar with the overall ESTour course that is to be tested in their countries.
