TEXT

The Spanish tourism sector has demanded, on different occasions, the need to establish measures from the public administration to improve the training offer, in order to adapt it to the new professional profiles. In addition to these requests, a training must be promoted that puts in value certain differential attributes that represent the Spanish brand from a systematization approach.

The National and Comprehensive Plan for Tourism 2012-2015 (PNIT), for its part, has highlighted the need to attract talent to the tourism sector and to promote entrepreneurship in this sector, especially by the young.

In line with the above, Turespana believes it is necessary to move towards a new model of grants which, in the past, meets the demands of the tourism sector, mentioned above, of adaptation to the new training requirements and professional profiles, meet the goal of incorporating talent into the business world and, in short, raise the quality of the tools that, as in this model of scholarships, Turespana puts in place for to achieve these objectives which contribute to the improvement of the competitiveness of the Spanish tourism sector.

This new model of grants also responds to the need to adapt to the changes in the structure of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism in recent years and in the Turespana itself. Experience in the application of the Order ITC/4430 2004, of 27 December, establishing the basis of the "Tourism of Spain" scholarship programme for study, research and practice in tourism matters for Spanish and foreign (with multiple forms of scholarships for foreigners and nationals; post-graduation; doctoral theses and to develop both within Spain and abroad) advise the implementation of another distinct programme managed entirely in the field The European Commission has been working on a number of projects in the field of public health. Tourism departments of Spain and companies and institutions of the sector.

Therefore, in the new regulation, certain disused modalities, the calls for which have ceased to take place for several years, have been ignored as a result of the recent evolution of the strategic objectives of the tourism policy in recent years. In this context, some of the types of grants regulated in the 2004 Order of Bases no longer respond to the priorities in the field of vocational training, in particular for the promotion of tourism, and the resulting economic resources. of the budgetary adjustments.

On the other hand, also the experience derived from previous calls for scholarships in the Ministry of Tourism makes it necessary to modify them in order to adapt them to the new situations that arise (requirements of qualifications, adaptations of selective testing, means of submission of applications, more functional management of fertilisers and grant reintegra tions.

All of the above requires a new order of bases such as the present one that replaces the aforementioned one.

The scholarship program consists of a training phase consisting of a master's degree in International Tourism, oriented to the best use of professional practices, which are developed in two stages The first in the network Tourism departments of Spain abroad, and the second in companies and institutions within and outside Spain, in the terms established on the basis of this provision.

The practices in the network of the Spanish Tourism Board (network of OET) contribute to this training process, in its condition as strategic asset of the Spanish tourism sector, due to its character of interface with the sector and for its ability to act as antennas in the issuing markets.

Practices in companies and institutions are based on the fact that human capital is revealed as the key element of the success of any business project. Therefore, Turespana is committed to providing companies with the incorporation of well-prepared and specialized young professionals, who will have previously successfully completed an intensive process of technical and practical training after the overcoming the Master's degree in Tourism and the practices in the network of Tourism Councils and will undoubtedly have provided them with experience and knowledge in multiple facets (resolution of specialized consultations, conduct of studies and market analysis, support in the organisation of events and promotional activities, etc.). It is therefore a last step that aims to complete the previous training and, finally, to promote the insertion of the trainees who have successfully completed the whole process.

This order, in accordance with the provisions of the second paragraph of Article 17.1 of Law 38/2003, of 17 November, General of Grants, has been the subject of the mandatory report of the State Advocate and of the Intervention Delegated to the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.
