EU ECO-TANDEM PROGRAMME | Oct. 29, 2020

It affects in different ways and with different strengths, but common everywhere is that an effective preventive effort is needed, based on new knowledge, technological effort and good planning.

The main objective of the EU ECO-TANDEM Programme project is to strengthen sustainable tourism development and to support the capacity of tourism SMEs in adopting more eco-sustainable and responsible approaches in the tourism industry through transnational cooperation and knowledge transfer.

Even more after the Pandemic, more sustainable and responsible approaches and methodologies will be at the forefront of the tourism value chain: more travelers who are attentive to sustainability, who want more unique holidays and who seek to be immersed in the territory and their cultures and explore unspoiled environments. This poses the challenge of how tourism professionals are able to cope with responsible and sustainable competences, skills and technological / process / service innovation.

The challenge, however, is that people and companies from different disciplines do not naturally start cooperating with each other: although tourism companies are often very open to collaboration, they lack the interdisciplinary resources and skills needed to organize such collaborations.  

And here is where the ECO-TANDEM Programme will change the game in the tourism industry.
