Youth Travel Sustainably, 2024

Project, financed by the  Erasmus+ program of the European Union, brings together organisations from Slovenia, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Turkey. In most of these countries tourism accounts for more than 10 % - 15 % of their total GDP. In these countries, there are numerous high schools dedicated to tourism and hospitality, thousands of young people studying tourism and aspiring to work in the sector in the future.

 

However, schools usually do not give them enough knowledge about the importance of sustainable development and sustainable tourism, let alone the entrepreneurial and employability skills such as creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, project planning and management, etc., which are needed in today's professional life, including in the tourism sector.

 

The project therefore aims to educate more than 30 young people from the above-mentioned countries about sustainable development in general and sustainable tourism in particular, and to strengthen their entrepreneurial skills, which will be useful for them when thinking and planning projects in the field of sustainable tourism. The aim is to improve their employability skills and increase their job prospects, especially in the field of sustainable tourism.

 

In the long term, the project aims not only to increase the employment of young people in the field of sustainable tourism, but also to develop and promote sustainable tourism products and services designed and proposed by the young people involved.
