The BLUE TOURISM project seeks to address current challenges by training future local advisers to help small tourism providers in watercourse regions become more sustainable and competitive. To achieve this goal, the project published educational resource packages, offering tailored training with competence area guidance, tutorials, hands-on resources, practical tips, and useful readings.

The third adviser resource package, published in March 2023, focuses on natural and cultural heritage. It aims to distinguish between natural and cultural heritage, define tangible and intangible heritage, link watercourses as heritage assets, explain UNESCO conventions, and support small tourism providers in managing heritage and tourist capacity in watercourse regions. The full educational resource is available on the left-hand side of the platform for anyone interested.
