🌱 The ReTour4Resilience project is aimed at developing regenerative tourism, which is designed not only to minimize the negative impact of tourism activities, but also to promote the restoration of territories, support local communities, preserve cultural heritage and increase the economic sustainability of regions.
🤝 The partner consortium includes European and Ukrainian universities, as well as organizations working in the fields of education, tourism and regional development. The initiator of the project concept was the Italian organization i-strategies, which has significant experience in implementing educational and innovative international projects in the field of education and tourism.
