Description

Fighting climate change is of utmost importance nowadays, particularly in the tourism sector, whose numbers of tourism influxes cause great environmental burden in local communities, such as overuse of plastic, excess of waste, etc. However, tourism industry professionals still lack environmental skills and knowledge (“green skills”) to develop a more sustainable and eco-friendly business.

The TOUCAN project’s main goal is thus to minimize the carbon footprint in the tourism sector through environmental learning for tourism SMEs, as well as Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers and teachers in this area.
