EU ECO-TANDEM PROGRAMME

Website

The project co-funded by the European Union aims to boost sustainable tourism development and increase the capacity building of traditional tourism SMEs through transnational cooperation and knowledge transfer. The tourism industry is facing new challenges such as sustainability concerns, overtourism, and COVID-19, which can be adequately tackled by creating synergies between tourism and other related sectors, throughout the value chain as a whole. In the light of these crises, eco-sustainability is no longer a niche: eco-tourism is real. It’s the present and the future, driving a lot of challenges among the tourism sector. How to innovate and be a true leader in the post-pandemic society? How to meet the eco-sustainability standards and a more sustainable approach to tourism, in particular from traditional tourism SMEs? Tourism SMEs need to embrace the opportunity that the new challenge of sustainability offers, as a possible driver of innovation and growth. Considering the fact that skills and competences are crucial for the industry, the ECO-TANDEM PROGRAMME project is based on cooperation and knowledge/tech transfer.
