Description

This call for proposals aims to support the establishment of thematic and/or geographic touristic routes and the development of associated tourism ecosystems. The routes are expected to be fully functional and self-sustainable at the end of the co-funding period. The selected proposal will be required to reinforce the sector’s competitiveness by increasing its resilience and capacity to face unexpected crises and challenges. 

The ultimate objective is to enhance SMEs in their transition towards sustainable business models across the EU, becoming more competitive while fostering the green and digital transition, in line with the Transition Pathway for Tourism, the EU Pact for Skills  and the Council’s EU Agenda for Tourism 2030.

Available Budget:  EUR 6 900 000

Info Session

We will organise an online informative webinar on this call for proposals in April 2026. Stay tuned for exact date and registrations!
