SUSTOURISMO

SUSTOURISMO is funded under the European Union’s 2014 – 2020 INTERREG VB Transnational Adriatic – Ionian Programme (‘ADRION’). The project seeks to invest in environmental resilience and the cultural and natural heritage in the Adriatic region by reducing the environmental impact of tourism and the associated use of private transport. To this end, it aims to achieve a modal shift from road to other means of transportation such as active transport (walking and cycling), public transport and low-emission mobility solutions (car sharing, car-pooling and electromobility).

Various tour packages will be tailored to the tourists’ mobility needs, along with a SUSTOURISMO mobile phone app to be developed and tested over the span of nine months in ten different cities in countries covered by the project (Albania, Greece, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia). Project partners – from research bodies and universities to counties and regions along Adriatic and Ionian Sea, coordinated by CERTH / HIT (lead partner) – will work together to analyse and assess the performance of innovative tourist and mobility solutions delivered under the project.
