Following the launch of DESTI-SMART Delivering Efficient Sustainable Tourism with low-carbon transport Innovations: Sustainable Mobility, Accessibility and Responsible Travel on 27 September 2018, the first phase of the project (Semester 1) was completed on 30 November 2018.
DESTI-SMART aims at improving transport and tourism policies at destinations by integrating strategies for sustainable mobility, accessibility and responsible travel in sustainable tourism development, and through efficiency, resilience, intermodality, novel transport systems, cycling and walking for visitors.
The 1.57 million Euro project is funded from the European Union Interreg Europe programme. Bournemouth University is the advisory partner working with nine European destination partners.
The outputs from phase will include a newsletter and a Policies review report which will be disseminated shortly and posted on this blog when published.
You can find out more about the project by visiting the DESTI-SMART website.
