Project Description

Eco-health tourism is closely aligned with the priorities of today’s youth. It is underpinned by sustainability and how the quality of their natural environments is positively influenced by nature, culture, tourism, and protection and integrated to the benefit of their local community. Climate change and COVID have recently catapulted the need for young entrepreneurs to get involved in eco-health tourism to combat millennium challenges by intersecting green practices with themes linked close to their hearts, e.g., sport, street culture, street food, street art and digitalization.

GRASSROOTS provides 4 key FREE resources.
