WITH4LESS creates a new community of players in the tourism chain by developing new skills to support customers/tourists, micro-enterprises, SMEs, employees of companies and service providers (public and private) to actively participate in the green transition through simple and effective actions.
This is achieved by increasing their knowledge and access to practical solutions and tools to better manage essential resources (water and energy), minimise waste and improve sustainable behaviour at the tourism level, at the service provider level as well as at the customer level, in order to offer/select more responsible and sustainable products and services, thus contributing to the promotion of a circular and green economy and consequently to the fight against climate change.
This approach is based on the experience of a previous project (ConsumeLess - financed by the Interreg MED 14/20 programme), which was a great success and gave the participating territories (from 9 different countries) the opportunity to define and test simple practices to improve resource management.
The new actors in this process are the "ConsumeLess advisors", who are equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to encourage the greening of the tourism sector at local level through very simple actions. At the same time, a way of networking and learning from each other, with a common vision, is designed in order to valorise these new players in the local and international tourism development strategy.
A learning opportunity for all, even without a high level of education in Malta, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Turkey. An international training course is organised to complete the training and networking process.
