Project summary
Climate change and increasing customer demands for sustainable low-carbon travel options are key challenges for tourism. Tourism industry needs to adapt to the more rapidly changing business environment caused by climate change.
Climate Neutral Destinations project engages altogether eight destinations from the Baltic Sea region to co-create a Climate Smart Business Toolkit to help tourism companies address these challenges and make a fundamental transition towards climate neutral tourism business. The project will provide tourism companies with practical steps and tools for carbon data-based and decarbonizing business development as well as for co-designing low carbon visitor experiences. Furthermore, a knowledge management model for climate smart development at the destination level will be developed.
The project is funded by the EU Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme.
