Finance and Digital Skills for Tourism SMEs

Practical resources to help tourism businesses strengthen financial management, embrace digital tools, and grow with confidence.

Building stronger, smarter tourism businesses

Small and medium-sized tourism businesses are the backbone of the tourism industry, contributing significantly to local economies, employment, and visitor experiences. However, many SMEs face challenges in adapting to a rapidly changing operating environment, accessing resources, and developing the skills needed to remain competitive and sustainable. Strengthening their capacity is essential to building a more inclusive, resilient, and future-ready tourism sector.

With the support and expertise of Visa, PATA has developed and launched a course designed to help tourism businesses increase their adaptive capacity and strengthen their operations. The course covers two key areas that are essential for SMEs: finance skills and digital skills.

Apart from the online course, PATA also conducted in-person training for SMEs, which took place in 2023 in Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. Learn more here.

Online Course

Available free of charge in six different languages, the course provides practical guidance, tools, and best practices to help tourism SMEs improve their knowledge, enhance their capabilities, and make more informed business decisions.
