CoVEs for the Tourism Industry

 

TOUR-X is a Center of Vocational Excellence (COVE) Project for the Tourism Industry.

TOUR-X envisions creating excellence in Tourism through a bottom-up approach where the Education providers of the partnership will enhance their ability to adapt skills provision to everchanging economic and social needs.
