The SPOT project, led by the University of Lodz and supported by a consortium of six educational and scientific institutions from across Europe, aims to revolutionize sustainable tourism spatial planning. By developing innovative teaching methods and implementing them across five educational organizations, SPOT addresses the urgent need for sustainable and inclusive tourism practices in Europe. The project includes a series of seminars, outdoor activities, and publications that foster collaboration and the exchange of best practices. Through theoretical studies and practical applications, SPOT seeks to enhance awareness and understanding of sustainable spatial planning among future tourism professionals.
