The Sustainable EU Tourism project hosted a series of three 90-minute webinars aimed at equipping participants with practical knowledge on EU tools and resources that support sustainable tourism. The sessions also introduced the twinning methodology developed within the project to foster collaboration among Destination Management Organisations (DMOs). These webinars were open to all DMOs, as well as the wider EU tourism ecosystem:
