Best Practice Collection Online Survey
The INSPIRES project partnership kindly invites representatives of the tourism sector to participate in a questionnaire survey, that aims to collect best practices focused on tourism resilience, sustainability and digitalization. The submitted best practices will be analyzed, included in a Best Practices Guide, disseminated through various channels, and used as examples in our "Train the Trainers" programme — all within the framework of the INSPIRES project, funded by the Single Market Programme (SMP)of the European Union.
Your contribution is essential to showcase real-world experiences and promote shared learning across the tourism sector. All information will be treated with strict confidentiality and used exclusively for the purposes stated above.
Thank you very much for your valuable collaboration.
