The ALTOUR-MED project recently achieved a significant milestone with the successful completion of national seminars in Malta, Greece, and Italy. These events were crucial in advancing our mission to enhance the skills of tourism professionals and students while promoting sustainable and alternative tourism practices across the Mediterranean region.
The seminars focused on empowering tourism and destination management professionals, along with students, by equipping them to develop and promote tailored alternative tourism offers. This initiative aligns with our objective of fostering unique, sustainable tourism experiences that cater to the growing demand for alternative travel options.
In addition to skill development, the seminars introduced participants to green skills—practices that support environmental sustainability in tourism. The learning materials and insights provided were designed to be flexible and transferable, encouraging participants to apply these concepts in their own professional contexts.
A key aim of these seminars was to raise awareness of the benefits of alternative tourism for businesses. As the tourism industry evolves toward more sustainable models, understanding the advantages of alternative tourism is crucial for maintaining competitiveness. The seminars offered valuable insights and practical strategies to help businesses adapt to this changing landscape.
Overall, the success of these seminars marks a significant achievement for the ALTOUR-MED project. By empowering professionals and promoting sustainable tourism, we are contributing to the development of a more innovative and resilient tourism industry in the Mediterranean region. The knowledge and skills gained from these seminars will serve as a strong foundation for continued growth and the mainstream adoption of alternative tourism practices.
The ALTOUR-MED project remains dedicated to driving progress in the tourism sector through education, innovation, and collaboration, with the ultimate goal of creating a sustainable and vibrant future for all stakeholders.
