Developing and Evaluating a Digital Health-Driven Talent Training Model for Tourism Management

Abstract

In the era of digital health, the tourism industry faces new challenges and opportunities, necessitating a revised approach to training tourism management professionals, especially in emergency rescue. This paper explores the development of a talent training model for emergency rescue within tourism management, emphasizing the integration of digital health perspectives. It examines the operational dynamics of emergency rescue systems and discusses how digital health technologies can enhance the competencies of rescue personnel. This analysis extends to the sustainability and professional competence requirements essential for training in the digital health context. Focusing on the practical implementation of this training model, we study the emergency rescue personnel training program at the Fujian Province ambulance personnel training base. The evaluation covers three main areas: basic skills analysis, vocational trainer experience, and training assessment methods and content. Preliminary results indicate significant acceptance among trainees, with 47.01% preferring head-up swimming without goggles during speed swimming training and assessment, reflecting the practical relevance of these methods. Additionally, the demographic analysis of vocational trainers shows a young workforce, with 52.63% having 2-3 years of coaching experience and 29.83% exceeding three years, aligning with the ongoing needs for professional talent development in the digital health-enhanced tourism sector. This study contributes to understanding how digital health can be seamlessly integrated into tourism management training, particularly in emergency rescue, providing a foundation for enhancing professional competencies in response to evolving industry requirements.
