As part of the shift towards nature conservation, many tourist destinations, as well as the people who visit them, are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of tourism on the environment. At the same time, the strengthening of environmental awareness has brought the need to visit less classic tourist destinations, with a high concentration of tourist contents, and locations in nature reserves, far from cities and with clear environmental protection policies are gaining priority. With this in mind, tourist locations are becoming more environmentally friendly and an increasing number of visitors aim to assess the environmental sustainability of hotels and holiday destinations. In line with the preferences of consumers of tourist services, the possession of green skills by employees in tourism and hospitality is becoming indispensable. It is in these sector that green practices are increasingly being developed and implemented, which entails the need for the green skills of employees.

The project ESSEFT is designed to tackle down the problem of a skills mismatch in each partner country that rises due to new requirements of the hotel management that employees need to meet in the tourism industry.
