This project aims to guarantee the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of the territories and the value chains that support tourism products, through the development of the sustainability of companies involved in tourism.
The project has sustainability management tools aimed at certification, marketing, and monitoring the sustainability of tourism products: i-SUSTENTURIS, e-SUSTENTURIS, and Itinerant SUSTENTURIS Workshops.
I-SUSTENTURIS is a certification system composed of a set of sustainability indicators (environmental, social, and destination), which will serve to measure and accredit the sustainability of tourism products, even those produced by micro and small companies, usually without the possibility of access to this resource.
E-SUSTENTURIS is a collaborative B2B (business to business) marketing platform, which aims to give visibility to sustainable tourism products developed locally, so that they can be integrated into more comprehensive offers resulting from cooperation between the various players in the tourism industry, including agents and global tour operators with an impact on intermediation with consumers and international markets.
Itinerant SUSTENTURIS Workshops enable the transmission of knowledge about internal management practices responsible for the development of corporate sustainability to improve the sustainability of tourism products, taking into account the results in the i-SUSTENTURIS indicators. In particular, they will promote the introduction of sustainability into company policies, through the development of action plan plans for sustainability, the correction of product performance based on indicators, and the adaptation of local companies' products to tourism.
The SUSTENTURIS project is innovative at several levels: in its focus on the sustainability of tourism products; in the evaluation of sustainability indicators calculated with a life cycle approach, in a transparent and traceable way, not only being a label, but also a management, education and marketing tool; and actively promoting partnerships between participants on the platform, to build a more sustainable tourist offer.
