Fighting climate change is of utmost importance, particularly in the tourism sector, as the number of tourism influxes cause great environmental burden in local communities, such as the overuse of plastic and the excess of waste, among others. However, tourism industry professionals still lack environmental skills (“green skills”) to develop a more sustainable and eco-friendly business.
The TOUCAN project has as strategic focus to minimise the carbon footprint in the tourism sector through the provision of environmental learning for tourism small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs), Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers and teachers in this area.
