Project Summary

The value of the health and wellness market in Western Europe has increased substantially between 2013 and 2018”. At the beginning of the period observed the health and wellness market valued approximately 126 billion euro and increased to around 149 billion euro in 2018. The health and wellness market in Eastern Europe experienced a similar increase in market value, increasing from approximately 22 billion euros in 2013 to 30.5 billion in 2018. The health and wellness trend has continued to grow across Europe as more individuals realize the importance of leading a healthy and active lifestyle.The main challenge in the further development of the wellness tourism in response to the growing interest of tourists, as well as of the demand for wellness packages that include diversity of services is availability of qualified staff.All categories of partners who participate in this project (representative organizations, sectoral umbrella organization, qualification authorities, VET providers) are key actors in modernization and advancement of VET and new sector skills in their respective countries and implement main project activities on a regular basis.The project’s main objective is to be designed transnational curricula and respective training content in wellness and spa tourism sector. There will be developed 5 transnational modular curricula based on learning outcomes for learners at EQF 4 and companies’ employees occupying EQF 4 related qualifications.Equipping VET students and adults/employees from the sector being trainees with the missing skills, by using a strong modern personalized didactic tool (multilingual training mobile app), the WeSkill project will try to make wellness and spa tourism sector more appealing, sustainable, advanced and competitive in the EU area.
