Dear <<Name>> <<Surname>>,
As the summer break is approaching the tourism sector is measuring the real impact of the Coronavirus crisis, and transportation is emerging a key element in the recovery of this strategic asset for the whole European continent.
For this we thought it would be interesting for you to participate in a webinar on “Smart and Sustainable Mobility Measures in Tourist Destinations” // 30th June 2020 from 12:00 to 13:30h (CET time)
>> Register here
This webinar brings together three big European projects dealing with the development of smart and sustainable measures in tourist destinations: two Interreg MED communities of projects on Sustainable Tourism and Urban Transports and CIVITAS DESTINATIONS project, funded by Horizon 2020. The goal of this webinar is to share good practices on the integration of sustainable and smart mobility in tourism policy/products and to showcase some concrete examples and practical guidelines developed by those projects with a special focus on Mediterranean destinations. The full program is available on-line here.
We hope that this webinar will be useful for you and your organisation, we look forward to your participation and feedback!
Best regards
