Our suite of learning materials are specifically designed to help equip users with a deeper understanding and knowledge of the skills to capitalize on current and future wellbeing and slow tourism opportunities, so as to increase innovation, market diversification and the sustainable growth in regional tourism economies.
Digital technologies are at the very core of the DETOUR project and are key to the delivery of our innovative pedagogies and methods for wellbeing tourism teaching, learning and assessment. Not only will digital tools, ebook resources (IO1, IO2) and OER’s (IO3) be developed, a new digital angle will be given to destination tourism training topics (such as Digital Placemaking and Digital Destination Mapping) to make them more relevant to the digital era we now live, work, learn and travel in. Marrying this priority with the aforementioned one, DETOUR will pay particular attention to the European Framework for Digitally Competent Educators (DIG COMP EDU) and utilise the framework to increase trainers’ confidence of using digital teaching in their daily work.
