Sustainable Tourism & Mobility Hand by Hand development
Seeking to relief environmental&political toll of the growing car use by tourists while travelling in ADRION, “SUSTOURISMO” approaches tourism under the spectrum of tourists engagement in eco-friendly sight-seeing through increasing modal share of active transportation (walking,cycling), Public Transport (PuT), lower-carbon mobility concepts (car sharing – car pooling, electromobility). Having as starting point the natural ADRION gates - transport hubs (airports, ports, railway stations)- while expanding to the tourism attraction poles/territories – cities and their catchment areas (city centers, coastal areas, points of interest) -, “SUSTOURISMO” aims at:

Identifying crucial tourism & mobility services providers and involved key players – part of “SUSTOURISMO” cooperation platformExploring tourist needs (surveys for identifying interests and needs.

Sights, areas of historical and cultural value, alternative types of tourism) – complementing “SUSTOURISMO” cooperation platformBuilding cooperation among identified players for developing a win- win environment.

Evoke sustainability responsibility to tourists while increasing tourism & mobility sectors profitability Exploiting the powers of new technologies for travellers’ engagement in ‘green’ travelling – “SUSTOURISMO” app (for sustainable tourism awareness raising, for crowd-sourcing/crowd-learning and assessing environmental friendly and responsible travel behaviours).

Delivering methodologies for transferring and adopting the lessons learned by the pilot cases to other ADRION regions – “SUSTOURISMO” Action PlanProviding ADRION policy makers with a Sustainable VolunTourism Boost Action Plan (ROADMAP) that concentrates guidelines for reaching sustainable tourism goal – “SUSTOURISMO” Strategy
