The objective of the project "On the Way to Solidarity Tourism" was to address the needs for digital transformation and sustainability in the tourism sector. We aimed to enhance the resilience of professionals by training them in the use of digital tools, while also raising awareness of the importance of digital skills. The project sought to facilitate the adoption of existing digital tools to make tourist destinations smarter and more sustainable and to encourage investment in these tools and in training. We also promoted sustainable practices to influence the behavior of tourism stakeholders, highlighting the economic and environmental benefits. Finally, we aimed to contribute to the transition towards a more resilient and sustainable tourism sector by raising awareness of environmental impacts and proposing adapted solutions
We applied for the project "On the Way to Solidarity Tourism" to address the lack of digital and sustainable tourism practices. During our work in sustainable tourism, we observed that while digital tools are available, there is a lack of coordination in their use, which limits their effectiveness. Professionals in the tourism sector often lack the digital skills needed to fully benefit from these tools and require guidance on applying them within a sustainability context. This project aims to bridge this gap by fostering awareness and training on using digital tools to enhance sustainable tourism. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for the tourism sector to adapt to these changes and become more resilient.
