In his opening remarks and introductory speech at the workshop, Mr. Pham Ba Hung, Principal of Hue Tourism College, stated that in the context of globalization and the strong development of information technology, digital transformation has become an inevitable and revolutionary trend in all areas of socio -economic life, including the tourism industry and tourism human resource training. The remarkable development of technology not only creates changes in the way tourism businesses are managed and operated but also creates an urgent need for digital transformation in tourism vocational training to meet the demands of a high-quality labor market in the digital age.

According to Mr. Pham Ba Hung, digital transformation in vocational training for tourism not only helps improve the quality of education but also creates conditions for students to access new knowledge and skills, in line with the development trends of the global tourism industry. This transformation requires a flexible, modern, and advanced education system capable of integrating digital tools and new technologies into the training process, thereby creating an integrated, flexible, and highly interactive teaching environment…

However, alongside the opportunities, digital transformation in vocational training for tourism also presents numerous challenges. One of the biggest challenges is investing in infrastructure and information technology. This requires significant financial resources along with commitment from training institutions and the government. Furthermore, developing human resources with the skills and pedagogical competence to teach in a digital environment is also a challenge, requiring professional and systematic teacher training programs.

"Digital transformation in vocational training for tourism is a challenging process requiring the participation and efforts of many stakeholders, but it also holds great promise, opening up opportunities to improve the quality of education and meet the future needs of the tourism industry."

Through the workshop "Digital Transformation in Tourism Vocational Training," we aim to create a forum where stakeholders can share knowledge and experience, and discuss together to find effective solutions for digital transformation in tourism vocational training, contributing to the development of Vietnam's tourism industry in the new era; including state management agencies on tourism, training institutions, tourism experts, businesses, and the community…,” Mr. Pham Ba Hung emphasized.

According to Le Anh Tuan, Director of the Training Department (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism), in recent years, training and human resource development in the tourism sector has achieved remarkable progress. The training facilities, enrollment scale, training models and methods, and training quality are gradually meeting the requirements for human resources to serve the practical development of the industry.
