The project ECOTOURS enhances the capacity of tourism’s SMEs and community tourism’s ecosystems to promote circular tourism and to uptake environmental principles, practices and standards in their businesses.
Through transnational cooperation, peer learning and capacity building, the project will engage key actors and local communities in Europe in cohesive and collaborative strategies and actions to build-up a support system to tourism SMEs, with a focus on how circular economy principles and standards apply to tourism services and businesses.
The project targets local communities in Italy (Sicily: Enna, Agrigento and Trapani), Greece (Western Macedonia), France (Corsica, Bastia), Hungary (Csongrad County, Szeged), Spain (Galicia, Vigo), Cyprus (Nicosia), including a natural & cultural heritage of international significance, that are currently facing common socio-economic challenges due to the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic.
