Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership for Youth
Tourism is one of the most dynamic economic sectors in the world. This continued growth in tourism is accompanied by increased consumer awareness of sustainable (environmentally friendly), participatory and inclusive tourism. Raise awareness on the theme of sustainable and inclusive tourism, understand the business opportunities it offers and how to take advantage of them individually or as a group of young entrepreneurs. In this way, the European Youth Roots project promotes the involvement of young people in innovative projects in the field of participatory and sustainable tourism.
The project empowered players to
- Raise awareness on the theme of sustainable and inclusive tourism
- Develop a coherent strategy to improve and diversify the promotion of sustainable and inclusive tourism services
- Recognise, develop and fully exploit the potential of cultural and natural heritage and
- Make good use of new innovative approaches to better support competitiveness and employment in sustainable tourism.
The project partners produced handbooks and a toolbox for professionals working with present and future entrepreneurs and professionals who can potentially make a difference in the future of a tourism industry that is more sustainable and smart.
In two rounds of training the project partners brought together youths and entrepreneurs where they exchanged experience and ideas that up the quality of the tourism experience while reducing waste and opting for the more sustainable option.
