Abstract

Advanced digital solutions, modern technologies and artificial intelligence have
fundamentally transformed the pace of change and existing business models in the tourism
and hospitality (T&H) sector. Implementing advanced digital solutions through new and
improved tourism products and services can transform the customer experience while
increasing the sector‘s productivity and resilience. However, in order to adequately leverage
advanced digital technologies, the T&H sector‘s workforce must have a sufficient level of
digital skills, competencies, and capabilities. Accordingly, this paper aims to assess the
digital skills of the T&H sector employees in Serbia and identify the key factors that
influence their level. The findings suggest that the digital skills of employees in the T&H
sector in Serbia should be improved through formal and informal education in order for the
sector to reposition itself in a more resilient and sustainable manner and in line with the 2030
Agenda.
