The topic of discussion in the twelfth episode of the EU Smart Tourism Podcast, "Smart gets you further - Off-season Tourism," which aired on April 25, 2024, is the significance of encouraging off-season travel in order to lessen the negative effects on the environment, assist local communities, and maintain employment in areas where tourism is the main industry. The episode, which is hosted by Misa Labarile, Policy Officer at the European Commission, DG GROW, examines ways that EU destinations might improve their appeal during the off-season and promote year-round travel. With the goal of promoting sustainable tourism practices throughout Europe, it emphasises the financial and environmental advantages of distributing travel demand across various seasons.
