The hospitality cluster has joined this European project that aims to promote transformative change in terms of sustainability, digitalization and resilience at the intersection of food and tourism within a consortium bringing together 6 countries. An ambitious program with numerous tools to support tourism SMEs!

SMEs have the opportunity to participate and benefit from the “Go Green, Get Digital, Be Resilient” acceleration program. To take part, they must express their interest and submit their proposal under a call for projects.

As part of the capacity building objective and activities, TASTE offers train-the-trainer programs for food tourism and sustainable food management stakeholders and training for SMEs in the sector.

TASTE offers a personalized assessment to SMEs in the tourism and food sector, accompanied by a roadmap tailored to their needs. This approach serves as a gateway to training and the collaborative project call scheduled for June 2025.

TASTE pursues ambitious objectives: equipping gastronomic tourism stakeholders and supporting SMEs towards greater sustainability and innovation. The key outcomes include concrete results such as network creation, improvement of food practices, and the development of high-impact local tourism experiences.

Seven partners from six countries (Spain, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Slovenia and Belgium) support the European project TASTE for more sustainable and innovative food tourism.
