service and tourism.

of their work is to update and validate the ESCO data so that it enables an
efficient matching between skills/competences, jobs and learning opportunities.

skills/competences and qualifications that are specific to the sector.
The
group aims to make a proposal for a complete revision of the sector within a
timeframe of two years.
