Why it’s worth attending



  • Actionable content: forward-looking trends and clear signals on where the sector is heading, combined with real cases and practical insights you can immediately put into practice. A program designed to turn ideas into decisions: what to do, how to do it, and what is already working in companies that are leading change.
  • A comprehensive vision of transformation: sustainability, technology, disability, and employment integrated into one cohesive journey, connecting strategy with operations. A cross-cutting approach that helps to understand the impact on processes, teams, and customer experience—and to turn major challenges into concrete business opportunities.
  • A truly valuable network: a meeting point for companies and decision-makers (human resources, innovation, sustainability, operations), alongside institutional representatives and key stakeholders in the region. An opportunity to share common challenges, identify synergies, and start conversations that can evolve into collaborations and tangible projects.
  • Inclusion with a business focus: how to effectively and sustainably integrate talent with disabilities while improving the organization and service at the same time. Practical keys to adapting roles and environments, optimizing processes, strengthening team culture, and raising quality standards—demonstrating that inclusion, when done right, is not just commitment, but competitiveness.

Key topics of the Congress

The main themes of the congress are structured around five clear lines, closely aligned with the current reality of the sector and designed to generate impact from day one:


  • Inclusive employment and real opportunities: How to genuinely open doors for people with disabilities in the tourism sector, with examples that show it is both possible and profitable. The sessions will address how to identify suitable roles, design effective onboarding pathways, and turn diversity into a driver of stability, engagement, and service quality.
  • Sustainability as a driver of transformation: moving beyond rhetoric: sustainability understood as a competitive advantage and a market requirement. The discussion will focus on how to balance social impact, profitability, and environmental responsibility, and on the concrete decisions destinations and companies are already making to adapt to new expectations, regulations, and consumption models.
  • Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence applied to tourism: Technology at the service of efficiency and people. Real cases and practical applications of digitalization and AI will be explored to improve processes, optimize operations, personalize the customer experience, and at the same time create new roles and more accessible and adaptable ways of working.
  • New professional profiles and skills in the Balearic Islands: what talent is beginning to be in demand (and what may be in short supply) in the coming years. A practical look at emerging roles, the most valued competencies, and how to prepare teams for a transformation that is already underway—from operational positions to management.
  • Accessibility and improved experience for all: accessibility understood as quality, excellence, and destination readiness. The focus will be on how to design services, environments, and processes that work better for everyone—customers and teams alike—and how this improvement translates into reputation, loyalty, efficiency, and broader employment opportunities.

Over two days, we will address in a practical way the challenges that are already reshaping tourism employment: sustainability, digitalisation, new professional profiles and labour inclusion as a driver of competitiveness.

A space to hear about solutions that work, share applicable practices and build alliances with real impact in the Balearic Islands and nationwide.
