Thematic Community project of the Interreg Euro-MED Sustainable Tourism Mission

The project Community4Tourism, the Thematic Community project of the Interreg Euro-MED Sustainable Tourism Mission aims to contribute to the EU territorial cooperation and its transnational dimension through the objectives included in the Programme and the main goals of the Mission 4, related to the Enhancement of Sustainable Tourism in the MED Area and the transition towards a climate-neutral and resilient society.





This project is based upon the main objective of improving a better governance of cooperation, both policy governance and multi-sectoral, multi-level and transnational territorial governance, with a strong focus on environment and climate, promoting a smarter and greener Mediterranean, which is in line with the European Green Deal, the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and the Territorial Agenda 2030. The project is built upon the outputs of the Interreg MED 14/20 Sustainable Tourism and BleuTourMed Projects but reinforces its objectives to current new challenges.





It integrates the 4 Programme’s specific objectives, as tourism has shown to be a transversal issue in the MED area, involving all kinds of stakeholders, agents and territories. It will address its activities to pursue the consolidation of a competitive innovation ecosystem, to support a circular economy, to promote climate change adaptation, and to enhance nature and biodiversity. As a result of its activities, it will come up with jointly developed solutions and promote cooperation across borders.





The project and the partnership are set up taking into consideration the transnational dimension for the success of the programme’s mission and project’s objectives. This approach will be maintained and ensured along the lifecycle of the project, as the partners will act as territorial antennas to ensure coverage of all the MED area and to maintain a smooth dialogue with all the territories, main actors and stakeholders, and keep an eye on its main needs and challenges.Facilitate the exploitation, sharing and reuse of knowledge, experiences and project results by other Euro-MED projects or other programmes to foster the production of relevant work, and establish conditions to develop synergies between projects.


Encourage the transfer of practices and results to other actors and territories and their integration in the development of local, regional, national and European (mainstream) policies and strategies.


Increase coordination between actors in the MED (multi-level, transnational) on the basis of the acquired knowledge, experience and results. Improve synergies responding to Mission4 challenges, contribute to the macro-regional and sea basin strategy.
