Description

Description (EN):

Seeking to relief environmental&political toll of the growing car use by tourists while travelling in ADRION, “SUSTOURISMO” approaches tourism under the spectrum of tourists engagement in eco-friendly sight-seeing through increasing modal share of active transportation (walking,cycling), Public Transport (PuT), lower-carbon mobility concepts (car sharing – car pooling, electromobility). Having as starting point the natural ADRION gates - transport hubs (airports, ports, railway stations)- while expanding to the tourism attraction poles/territories – cities and their catchment areas (city centers, coastal areas, points of interest) -, “SUSTOURISMO” aims at: Identifying crucial tourism & mobility services providers and involved key players – part of “SUSTOURISMO” cooperation platformExploring tourist needs (surveys for identifying interests and needs. Sights, areas of historical and cultural value, alternative types of tourism) – complementing “SUSTOURISMO” cooperation platformBuilding cooperation among identified players for developing a win- win environment. Evoke sustainability responsibility to tourists while increasing tourism & mobility sectors profitability Exploiting the powers of new technologies for travellers’ engagement in ‘green’ travelling – “SUSTOURISMO” app (for sustainable tourism awareness raising, for crowd-sourcing/crowd-learning and assessing environmental friendly and responsible travel behaviours). Delivering methodologies for transferring and adopting the lessons learned by the pilot cases to other ADRION regions – “SUSTOURISMO” Action PlanProviding ADRION policy makers with a Sustainable VolunTourism Boost Action Plan (ROADMAP) that concentrates guidelines for reaching sustainable tourism goal – “SUSTOURISMO” Strategy

Achievements (EN):

SUSTOURISMO project was a great trip for SUSTOURISMO partners and SUSTOURISMO areas, offering them the opportunity to dive into tourism planning while investing in injecting to tourism sector the knowledge and experience of the partnership in transport sector and sustainable mobility. The project proposed an innovative co-planning approach that joins sustainable transport and sustainable tourism – living collaboration with local stakeholders, tourists’ surveys for taking into account real users’ needs while preparing SUSTOURISMO enabling tools (SUSTOURISMO app and SUSTOURISMO touristic packages), involvement of local communities in reaching SUSTOURISMO achievements and in building the next steps! COVID-19 pandemic was a compact lesson for all of us and the same applied also at the level of projects’ implementation where radical risks mitigation actions had to be undertaken. Being tourism and mobility two sectors severely hit by the pandemic, we had to rethink, re-consider and re-design our actions so as not to lose the quality and value of recommendations brought from this 3 years’ experience. We developed the SUSTOURISMO app making the first steps of a common ADRION branding storytelling while simultaneously trying to boost sustainable behaviours through a gamification approach (i.e. the more the tourist walks, the more it gains in virtual coins that are translated to real rewards in SUSTOURISMO areas, when a tourist selects to experience a SUSTOURISMO touristic package – all of them incorporating sustainable mobility options among other provided services – it gains more virtual coins that can be redeemed with special offers) and through providing direct information on how to move around the destinations in a sustainable way. Furthermore, the app promotes a co-planning approach arising from its crowd-sourcing functionalities; tourists are asked to provide useful data for tourism and transport planning (trip diaries submission, satisfaction level declaring, proposals and ideas sharing). Stakeholders’ consultation and cooperation with service providers and local actors in order to realize the SUSTOURISMO touristic packages, brought SUSTOURISMO areas a step closer to a common understanding of the value of sustainable tourism growth – this was one of the most important achievements of the project that partners are willing to further continue. Finally, we would like to highlight the contribution of the ADRION Thematic cluster initiative to SUSTOURISMO; joining projects that work under a common wider goal offers to the projects a wider capacity on how to deal with the specific issue. The experience exchange with WONDER, THEMATIC, SMART Heritage, ADRILINK, ADRINETBOOK, PRONACUL and TRANSFER projects widened the way we see tourism and gave us new ideas and valuable fresh contacts for further building a resilient and sustainable tourism era! We are already working on SUSTOURISMO follow up!

Expected Results (EN): Level of capacity for the stakeholders in the fields of natural and cultural heritage protection and tourism to sustainably valorise natural and cultural heritage as a growth asset

Expected Outputs (EN):

The main result of the project will be the activation of sustainable tourism based on green and smart mobility options in ADRION area through the stakeholders and tourists engagement in tourism planning. Relevant authorities increased knowledge and understanding of the contribution of sustainable mobility related solutions to the decrease of air pollutants and the protection of areas with high cultural and natural value (design, development, implementation and potential contribution of several innovative mobility services and systems in mitigating the impacts of mobility choices on the environment) is the core axis of SUSTOURISMO project. This enhanced capacity of understanding on which are the optimal ways to address challenges that are of transnational nature, is crucial if the principles of sustainability in tourism are to be followed. Policy and decision makers will find themselves enriched in terms of ways, measures, policies, strategies as well as concrete activities to deal with existing and foreseen tourism-related issues in the whole ADRION area. The use of a special developed crowdsourcing application will provide the necessary insight on tourists’ needs regarding accessibility and advanced services at the areas they are visiting. Furthermore, co-creation workshops with stakeholders (Round Tables) will reveal real challenges and practical opportunities and possibilities in tourism development while respecting the environment and the society as a whole. Synergies among cross-sectoral stakeholders for enhancing tourists’ experience and city’s performance (air quality) will be developed.
