The Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, as well as digitalisation and climate change, have highlighted the importance of government resilience in the face of unexpected shocks and stresses. And they have also demonstrated the transformative role of digital technologies in helping the public and private sectors solve urgent challenges and remain resilient during a crisis. Small and medium-sized enterprises are crucial to the EU economy: they account for more than 99% of European businesses and provide two-thirds of private sector jobs. The twin transition will strengthen sustainability through technology and enable a sustainable digital transformation for European tourism MSMEs.<\/p>\n Expected Results: <\/strong>This project will identify and share innovative and best practices to improve the transition to “Industry 4.0” in tourism-related MSMEs (such as small accommodation operators, restaurants, small local craft businesses, small tourism service providers, etc.). The use of digital approaches and new technology solutions can help accelerate European sustainability policies while creating more responsive, intelligent and inclusive local and regional governance strategies. TOURBO will create a sustainable and progressive framework for the integration of a resilient tourism sector into local and regional policies, especially with the aim of the transition pathway of MSMEs by a quadruple-helix approach for a smart-green transformation.<\/p>\n 8 partners will:<\/p>\n * Analyse and exchange how interregional collaboration helps to foster the regional transition pathway<\/p>\n * Develop innovative SMART-GREEN-METHODS in tourism-related MSMEs.<\/p>\n * Build the capacity of tourism-related MSMEs to become more resource efficient<\/p>\n * Build the capacity of all relevant public authorities on how to incorporate TWIN TRANSITION Strategies<\/p>\n Further information:\u00a0<\/strong>Eija Rasakka and Milla Hirvaskari<\/p>\n Find more details information<\/strong>: www.interregeurope.eu<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Initiatives for Sustainable Innovative Practices, Resilience, and Empowerment in Tourism SMEs (INSPIRES)” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Implementation period:<\/strong> 11\/2024 – 10\/2027<\/p>\n Partners:<\/strong><\/p>\n Erlebnis Bremerhaven (DE)<\/p>\n City of Bremerhaven (DE)<\/p>\n Tourism Province of Antwerp (BE)<\/p>\n Chamber of Commerce and Industry Vratsa (BG)<\/p>\n Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Shipping and Services of Seville (ES)<\/p>\n Podkarpackie Region (PL)<\/p>\n Lapland University of Applied Sciences (FI)<\/p>\n European Culture Tourism Network – ECTN<\/p>\n Funding programme and funding<\/strong>:\u00a0COSME<\/p>\n Budget:<\/strong> The overall budget is 2.063.787,35 \u20ac, Lapland UAS budget is 313.029,94 \u20ac<\/p>\n Project description<\/strong>:<\/p>\n 1.
