Welcome to Join the Med, the knowledge hub for sustainable tourism issues that aims to identify the most tangible tools, methods and solutions for promoting and achieving sustainability in the tourism sector.
Join the Med aims to highlight sustainable tourism practices in the Mediterranean and provide policy extensions of tourism-related activities. The platform has been designed as a dynamic tool that creates interactive visualizations and synthesizes inputs by mapping pilot activities, actors and synergies.
The platform is addressed to practitioners, policy makers, academics and other stakeholders’ groups related to tourism issues who can capitalize on the results and inputs coming from different initiatives put in place in the Mediterranean and are considered valuable assets for the protection and valorization of the cultural and natural resources towards the sustainable tourism development.
Join the Med is created under the Sustainable Tourism Mission of the Interreg Euro-MED Programme 2021-2027. The Interreg Euro-MED Programme aims to support cooperation across Mediterranean borders by bringing together partners from 69 regions of 14 countries on the Northern shore of the Mediterranean. The partners share the common objective to achieve a climate neutral and resilient society for the benefit of its citizens. The Sustainable Tourism Mission focuses on fostering circular tourism considering the sustainability of ecosystem services using innovation technologies, and promoting the preservation of natural resources and cultural heritage. Community4Tourism is the Mission’s thematic community project, which aims at consolidating a competitive innovation ecosystem, to support a circular economy, to promote climate change adaptation, to safeguard nature and biodiversity and collaborate to the transition towards a climate-neutral and resilient society.
