CURRENT ACTIONS:
Though ETC does not work directly with SMEs, we are committed to supporting all actors within the tourism industry in their transition processes by continuing to release publications and webinars publicly. Many of our studies could be useful to small business owners in providing information on climate action and market insights for the tourism industry. All of the research that ETC produces is freely available on our website, so can be accessed by anyone working in the sector looking for reliably sourced data. Much of the climate action-related research that we expect to publish in the coming months and years, such as guides on green labelling and GHG emissions measuring, could be specifically beneficial to entrepreneurs by providing climate transition strategies that they could apply to their own businesses. 

FUTURE ACTIONS:
ETC is committed to increasing our output of publicly available research and guidelines on sustainable practices. We plan to release a guidebook on green labelling and GHG emissions measuring, as well as further market insights on sustainable tourism-related topics. 

OUTPUT:
We will produce guidebooks on green labelling and GHG emissions measuring methodologies.

TIME:
The handbook on emissions measuring will be published later in the final quarter of 2024. Further publications such as a guide on green labelling will be produced in the coming years.
