EU ECO-TANDEM Programme, aimed at promoting sustainable development in the tourist sector, has been featured for the second time at the TTG Travel Experience, one of the most important touristic fairs that took place in Rimini, last 13rd October.
“EU ECO-TANDEM, a follow-up to the Italian matchmaking event: sustainability explained by the project ambassadors”, was the title of the meeting, organized by ENIT-Italian National Tourist Board, the Communication Leader of the project.
The event has offered a unique opportunity to share experiences, ideas, reflections, results and objectives regarding the project coming from the tourism and sustainability sectors, in particular from the TANDEMS that have been formed, ready to face the green challenges they will be involved in over the near future.
These “TANDEMS” are the result of the extensive participation by companies in the matchmaking events held during September/october in Berlin, Bratislava and in Italy in a hybrid format, during which non-tourism start-ups and SMEs in the tourist sector had the chance to meet and “match up”, with the support of technicians and experts in the sector.
Now, the second phase of the project is about to begin: from the 24th of October the TANDEMS will be editing their Plan of Action to rise to the challenge they have identified together. They will have to submit their Plans by December 7, 2023. The best of these Plans will be rewarded with a voucher to implement their project in early 2023.
The green heart of ECO-TANDEM is ready to grow!
Ample attention will also be reserved for the other projects co-funded by the European Union of which ENIT is a partner. The EU project WeMED_NaTOUR, coordinated by ENIT, is dedicated to the coastal destinations of the western Mediterranean, with the aim of developing transnational, eco-smart tourism packages for the school tourism market.
The ECO-CRUISING FU_TOUR project, coordinated by X23 Srl (Italy), of which ENIT is a partner, seeks to exploit the ecological potential of the SMEs in the tourism sector in the western Mediterranean and cross-border cooperation to create new market opportunities for eco-cruising tourism, focusing in particular on Millennials and Gen Z.
