These skills are transferable skills and also highly desired in other industries. But how can these skills be taught at an early learning stage, within an AI-dominated learning environment? Which psychological effects apply, and how can the development of transferable skills contribute to an intercultural society? An interdisciplinary approach combining Tourism Management, Psychology, Sociology and ICT.
