Green Ideas for Tourism for Europe, an Erasmus+ project funded with support from the European Commission, aimed to integrate environmental sustainability into secondary vocational tourism education. In collaboration with leading organizations, the project developed an online tool for teaching environmental management, effectively bridging industry needs with educational curricula. By presenting real case studies and interactive learning experiences, it inspires students to adopt environmentally responsible practices, which are crucial for building a competitive low-carbon economy and a sustainable tourism sector.
