<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">With the need to make a comprehensive and long term response to the multiple crises of Global Change - including the covid-19 health pandemic, biodiversity loss, extreme weather events and social inequality - the <strong>European Tourism Going Green (ETGG 2030)</strong> project has the overall aim to establish <strong>a long lasting, EU wide business sustainability online knowledge acquisition and expert training system</strong> that can function in the <strong>Agenda 2020-2030 policy-making decade</strong> as <strong>a service to support all European tourism SMEs throughout the supply chain in their move towards sustainable consumption and production. </strong>Implementation of the service will be piloted in an exemplary manner in <strong>9 destinations in 6 countries</strong> with UNESCO cultural heritage sites and Natura 2000 sites as an immediate attempt to make the <strong>tourism eco-system and its territorial base more resilient in European areas that are most under threat</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>ETGG 2030</strong> has been funded approximately 1 million Euros for 30 months from January 2021 by the <strong>EU COSME programme</strong> to bring together <strong>sustainability experts and business support organisations</strong> in higher education, chambers of commerce, tourism organisations and NGOs to <strong>establish an ICT-based cluster approach </strong>for the <strong>development and transfer of innovative best practice</strong> in the sustainable management of small, medium & micro tourism enterprises (SMEs). Expert knowledge support from the Erasmus-funded <strong>TRIANGLE (Tourism Research Innovation and Next Generation Learning Experience) Knowledge Alliance </strong>will be given to<strong> 8 business support organisations and chambers of commerce</strong> who will run <strong>national competitions to</strong> <strong>select 70 SMEs for sustainability support worth up to 10,000 Euros.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A common <strong>European SME sustainability online training system</strong> will be developed and implemented to give the businesses access to both an expert knowledge base and a <strong>European group of sustainability experts</strong> who will assist them through <strong>a third-party sustainability certification process. </strong>By using the training system and tools such as an <strong>‘<em>R U ready for Certification?</em>’ App,</strong> the SMEs will be able to make evidence-based business decisions to implement sustainability in their operations and supply chains to improve their socio-economic and environmental performance, and simultaneously be measured in the process of becoming more sustainable. This will allow them to raise their market profile by qualifying for a listing on the world's largest independent quality-assessed sustainable & responsible tourism market-place - the <a href="/market-place/green-travel-maps" target="_new">Green Travel Maps</a><a href="/market-place/green-travel-maps" target="_new"></a> on the <strong>Tourism 2030.eu Portal</strong> - where they can establish b2b, b2c and b2g links by being included in an upgraded <em><strong>Travel Green Europe app</strong></em>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The project will develop a <strong>post-project business plan</strong> to continue to run a collaborative training offer throughout European member states to ensure long term viability after the initial pilot funding stage and help European businesses and destinations meet the <strong>EU implementation of the circular economy</strong> and <strong>UN</strong> <strong>Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals</strong> <strong>12</strong> - Sustainable Consumption and Production; minimising their socio-economic and environmental impacts on the European territory; <strong>SDG 13</strong> - Climate Action; <strong>SDG 14 -</strong> Life under Water; <strong>SDG 15 -</strong> Life on Land; creating worthwhile and lasting employment opportunities (<strong>SDG 8</strong>); and SDG implementation through collaborative partnership approaches (<strong>SDG 17</strong>).</span><a href="mailto:Herbert.hamele@ecotrans.de"></a> </p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">To boost SME sustainability and enable timely and effective knowledge transfer throughout the EU, the project will deliver:</span></strong><br /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">1) A consortium of eight business networks/ Chambers of Commerce and TRIANGLE Knowledge Alliance Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) as a coherent <strong>European wide knowledge and innovation information sharing community</strong> to support SME sustainability implementation.</span><br /></div>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">2) An EU wide <strong>sustainability toolkit and training service</strong> based on the Tourism2030.eu platform.</span><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">3) <strong>Implementation</strong> of that service in an exemplary manner in 9 destinations <strong>in the 6 partner countries Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Italy</strong> with UNESCO cultural heritage sites and Natura 2000 sites in which SME sustainability is an immediate necessity.</span><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">4) <strong>Bringing 70 tourism SMEs</strong> located in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Italy <strong>into a common continuous development process</strong> that improves their knowledge acquisition, market access and local to global promotion in the Travel Green Europe app that links businesses going green to other businesses and customers.</span></p>
