CROSSDEV Lectures: HOW TO rethink sustainable tourism after Covid-19

A series of free online lectures on the panorama of the tourism industry after the Coronavirus pandemic is being organized by CISP as part of the CROSSDEV project, aimed at supporting socioeconomic development of 5 areas of the Mediterranean using sustainable tourism as a tool.

As the possibility to travel was halted by the Covid-19 causing complete disruption to the whole tourism industry, a profound rethink of the whole system seems imperative. This poses lots of challenges, but it is also the occasion to change for the better, to aim at a more sustainable and fair way to travel and to re-build the related business. How can we get there?

Let’s start with three lectures by Ms. Diane Dodd, PhD, President and co-Founder of IGCAT (International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism), as well as Executive Director and the inspiration behind the European Region of Gastronomy Platform and Award. She is also an evaluator of the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe. 

Through the three online meetings, Ms Dodd will help us look into the current situation to better understand it and to search and find innovative and creative solutions for a better future.
