On 12th October 2022 / 14:30-16:00 / NECSTour in the framework of the Sustainable Tourism Community is organising an online workshop at the European Week of Regions and Cities dedicated to the transition towards a smarter and greener Sustainable Tourism Ecosystem in the Mediterranean.
This workshop aims to foster dialogue on the transition towards a greener and more digital sustainable tourism, with a focus on the Mediterranean basin and the concrete case study of the Interreg MED Sustainable Tourism:
– What are European decision-makers expecting to happen in the European regions?
– Can the experience of the Interreg MED Sustainable Tourism be considered a case study, an example to be replicated elsewhere?
– What do the stakeholders need to be supported in this transition?
The panellists will debate these aspects, with a view to drafting proposals. Participants will hear success stories with concrete examples of Digital and Green Tourism and of how this contributes to sustainable and balanced growth in the Mediterranean region.
Moderators:
– Cristina Nuñez, Director, NECSTour, Network of European Regions for Sustainable and Competitive Tourism
