The WITH4LESS project, spanning from September 2023 to August 2025 and funded by the European Union Erasmus+ Programme, aims to establish a new community of stakeholders within the tourism sector. It focuses on developing new skills to support customers, tourists, micro-enterprises, SMEs, and employees of both public and private service providers in actively participating in the green transition through straightforward and effective actions. The project seeks to enhance resource management, reduce waste, and promote sustainable behavior among tourists, service providers, and customers. It comprises four key phases: research and training, creation of a training program, on-field activities, and the development of initiatives and a Manifesto.
