Biosphere Portugal and Post Innovation for Sustainable Development (PI4SD) invite tourism micro and small enterprises and the professionals who train and support them to join the RESTORE Open Day and explore a central question: How can tourism micro and small enterprises respond to overtourism while creating positive value for destinations, communities and the environment?

Through adult learning and practical training resources, participants will discover how RESTORE addresses this challenge.

The session will include:

• a brief introduction to the challenge of overtourism and the RESTORE approach; 
• a presentation of the RESTORE Train the Trainers MOOC for Human Resources Professionals and Adult Trainers who support tourism micro and small enterprises; 
• a presentation of the Training Course for Entrepreneurs and Professionals of Micro and Small Enterprises in the Tourism Sector, designed to help tourism businesses explore Net Positive and regenerative business practices; 
• a demonstration of the RESTORE Online Learning Hub, including its structure, available content and how to access the two learning pathways; 
• an open question and answer session with the teams involved in developing the training content and learning resources. 

The Open Day is particularly relevant to professionals and managers of tourism micro and small enterprises, Human Resources Professionals and Adult Trainers, consultants and business coaches. Training providers, vocational and higher education institutions, business associations, non-governmental organisations, public bodies and representatives of other European projects may also find the session relevant.
