The event gave our team the opportunity to get to know the other projects of the Mission, to network and to inquire into possible synergies. Our activities were shared with the audience as part of the SustainableTourism Thematic projects, highlighting where collaboration can take place and synergies can apply.
During the 2nd day of the event, our team participated in the 1st MED Clusters Annual Meeting actively joining forces and sharing experiences with experts in Innovation, across the Interreg Euro-MED Programme area to solve key sustainable tourism challenges.
