The Workforce Development Challenge

Facing the Industry's Core Challenges Head-On

Across Canada and around the globe, tourism leaders are tackling a persistent set of challenges: a chronic labor shortage , a widening gap between institutional training and dynamic industry needs , and the critical need to make tourism careers more attractive and sustainable. Educational institutions need to provide more hands-on, practical learning , while HR bodies must find scalable ways to upskill the workforce for the digital age.

Combat Labor Shortages by accelerating onboarding and offering engaging professional development that improves talent attraction and retention.

Bring sustainability principles to life. Use VR to simulate eco-tourism best practices, model the environmental impact of different choices, or tour certified sustainable properties.

Cultural Sensitivity Training:

Enhance the cultural competency of your workforce. Provide immersive experiences that improve understanding of international visitors or allow for the respectful sharing of Indigenous tourism stories, with content led by Indigenous creators.
