RESTART MED - Networking strategy

RESTART MED - Official video of the MED Sustainable Tourism platform
The MED Sustainable Tourism is an initiative to promote Sustainable tourism in all Mediterranean countries.
Developed as a spin-off of CROSSDEV, MEDUSA, MED GAIMS and MED PEARLS projects, the MED Sustainable Tourism platform gathers guidelines and information about various kinds of sustainable tourism, such as Cultural Tourism, Adventure Tourism, Gamification in Tourism, and Slow Tourism. While being very peculiar in their own traits, they all share the same values, from the caring of environment to the wellbeing of local communities.
Check out the platform here: https://joinus.medsustainabletourism.net/
RESTART MED - Online platform
The medsustainabletourism.net web site has been conceived as a tool for the RESTART MED partners and projects’ stakeholders to capitalise on existing networks by connecting them, and to include more actors involved in the tourism sector in the Mediterranean area. It builds on the types of tourism and experiences of the 4 standard projects (cultural, slow, adventures and games).
The platform includes a library/resource section for those who want to know more, as well as a freely accessible online course for professionals willing to learn how to develop their sustainable tourism products.
RESTART MED - Country sustainable tourism policy reviews
A review of the sustainable tourism policies of the countries involved in the project: Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Spain, Tunisia.
RESTART MED - Training manual on sust.tourism products
Sustainable tourism product creation and promotion: training manual - A tool to help tourism stakeholders understand the latest international trends in sustainable tourism and develop innovative, competitive, attractive products.
MedSNAIL factsheets of quality products belonging to the Mediterranean culture, history and traditions.
As an alternative to the MedSNAIL Geodatabase, factsheets have been published with information on Ark of Taste products identified through MedSNAIL. This is a more visual and easy-to-share tool that describes the nature, production process and history of these products. The Ark of Taste is a Slow Food initiative created to highlight the existence of quality products belonging to cultures, history and traditions around the world, which are at risk of disappearing within a few generations.
MedSNAIL Narrative Labels to raise awareness of products linked to local history, tradition and culture.
Narrative labelling is a tool inspired by the strategic instruments developed by Slow Food and ultimately aims to promote a more homogeneous identification between products from a specific area, thus fostering a sense of shared identity and a more direct association between the area and its local products. Each of the MedSNAIL pilot areas has identified local products adapted to and consistent with their natural environment and developed labels that highlight descriptive characteristics associated with their territorial context, historical trajectory and connections with the intangible practices and traditions of local communities.
MedSNAIL Alliance of Chefs Directory for local products promotion.
The MedSNAIL Chefs Alliance, inspired by a Slow Food initiative, is made up of a group of chefs committed to integrating local products into local food production. These establishments have been identified and collected through a specific directory that makes it possible to identify Mediterranean gastronomic establishments committed to local products. This network will serve as a precedent for possible collaborations and/or synergies between members of the sector, as well as new commercial links between producers and chefs.
MedSNAIL Strategy for Mediterranean agri-food sector
This is an integrated analysis of the MedSNAIL pilot areas (six pilot areas in Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Palestine, Tunisia and Spain), which has enabled work to identify and prioritise common challenges and joint opportunities in the Mediterranean agri-food sector. It is a key document that lays the foundations for contextualising local scenarios and establishing useful comparisons that allow work to be coordinated through strategic solutions.
MedSNAIL Alliance for fair, sustainable, resilient and competitive Mediterranean agri-food system
The MedSNAIL Alliance is a model agreement that includes milestones and specific lines of work that actively contribute to the transition of the Mediterranean agri-food sector towards a fairer, more sustainable and competitive model. The alliance is understood as an open and scalable tool to ratify the commitment of those entities interested in strengthening and adding value to Mediterranean food chains.
MedSNAIL Agrobiodiversity studies to preserve local food memory
Agrobiodiversity studies constitute a strategic study of each of the six MedSNAIL pilot areas, their food varieties and related industries, as well as the environmental and cultural factors that condition the agri-food development of local MSMEs. They are understood as an agile and basic tool for preserving the food memory of the territory, but also for defining lines of action to reverse situations that endanger traditional varieties and related industries.
