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 first adviser resource package, published in March 2023, focuses on sustainable tourism and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It aims to define sustainable tourism, highlight its potential to contribute to the SDGs, describe related targets in SDGs 8, 12, and 14, support small tourism providers in setting sustainability priorities, customise SDG implementation plans, advise on green skills, and discuss sustainability in watercourse regions. The full educational resource is available on the left-hand side of the platform for anyone interested.
