The current health crisis has exposed the vulnerability of the tourism industry. Hundreds of millions of visitors were lost in 2020, profoundly affecting the activity of all businesses. This crisis has also accelerated social transformations, with consumers now seeking more responsible and benevolent tourism. Besides, sustainable tourism brings numerous environmental, social and economic benefits while providing competitive advantages derived from cost savings and a better quality of the offer.

To face these challenges, TOURISME project wants to foster SMEs’ capacities and skills to explore and take up solutions through a reinforced transnational and cross-sectoral collaboration among tourism SMEs and operators from different sectors.

If you are a tourist accommodation or travel professional, we would like to support you in gaining competitiveness by participating in the European TouriSME programme.

This call is open to SMEs from tourism sector in Spain, Italy, France and Cyprus until 15/9/2021.
