Cross-Re-Tour is a project coordinated by Stichting Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, and co financed through the Single Market Programme – Europe’s programme for small and medium-sized enterprises. It aims to foster cross-domain open innovation by supporting tourism SMEs in implementing innovative digital, green, and circular economy solutions in partnership with stakeholders from various sectors.

​

Under this scope, 2.4 million euros will be allocated to support 80 tourism SMEs in adopting innovative solutions, products, and practices. The main goal is to enhance their operational performance while addressing challenges related to climate change, sustainability, and digitization.

​

The first step in the Cross-Re-Tour mission is to identify knowledge gaps and specific challenges faced by tourism SMEs in their green and digital transformation.
