Another key target area is the sustainability aspect of travel and tourism. Drawing attention to responsible and sustainable practices in tourism is crucial in today’s world, which is why the focus of the cooperation on this area is commendable. In addition, the MoU also looks at human resource development, making the industry more accessible and rewarding for employees.
