The INSPIRES consortium comprises seven partners spanning six EU countries, each contributing unique expertise: two Destination Management Organisations, three Business Support Organisations, one university, one affiliated city, and one pan-European Network. Together, they forge a robust alliance dedicated to bolstering resilience among tourism SMEs in the post-pandemic economy, empowering them to navigate crises and thrive.


Each partner brings their own unique perspective and
expertise on the topics of digitalisation and sustainability for a
future-proof tourism sector in Europe. 


Given the focus on resilience, the partners came together and a
lot of progress can be witnessed in the six regions in terms of
sustainability and digitalisation.
