Enhancing Sustainable Tourism Skills through Green and Digital Marketing

The ALTER TOURS project, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, aims to enhance the skills of tourist guides and agents in sustainable tourism by focusing on green and digital marketing for alternative thematic tours. The primary target group includes tourist guides, agents, and tour operators across Europe. The project will develop a comprehensive curriculum, training materials, and an e-learning platform, culminating in a standardised certification scheme to validate their newly acquired skills.
