The post-pandemic tourism industry faces environmental challenges, prompting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to adopt circular and sustainable practices. The ECOTOURS project exemplifies this commitment, fostering discussions on resource reduction and waste minimization. Practical experiences, such as visits to beekeeping centers and organic olive farms, translate theoretical concepts into tangible actions, promoting sustainable tourism and cultural heritage.
