EuropeTour

Short description of the project:

EUROPETOUR was supported by the European ERASMUS+ funding scheme 2015 – 2018. It aimed at linking the knowledge and resource bases of ten different partners across Europe, representing culture, tourism, training providers, local and regional authorities, entrepreneurs, consultants, and cultural tourism networks. The project is an answer to the continuing vocational training needs of cultural-touristic service providers from culture and tourism in rural areas. Within the project, ten European partners from eight European regions developed nine training modules and guidelines in order to qualify all interested parties for generating attractive cultural tourism offers.

Liaison with RURITAGE:

EuropeTour collaborated with RURITAGE in the framework of a series of RURITAGE webinars called ‘Rural Connections – knowledge exchange with EU Rural projects’ .The first webinar of the series took place on 12 April 2021 and was related to the topic of ‘Rural tourism and marketing’.
