Call for proposals for 'Facilitating transnational low season tourism exchanges in Europe encouraging Senior Citizens to travel'
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for 'Facilitating transnational low season tourism exchanges in Europe encouraging Senior Citizens to travel'. This new call comes under the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP). The contribution of senior citizens to the European tourism industry is significant. Acknowledging its importance, the European Commission aims to reinforce it, notably by facilitating transnational tourism flows of seniors within Europe in the low season. Fostering the demand and supply of transnational tourism for seniors; contributing to the extension of the tourism season; creating innovative tourism packages for seniors; and setting up and strengthening sustainable public-private European partnerships have been identified as key objectives of this call for proposals. Up to four projects will be selected by the European Commission, for a total budget of EUR 1 million.To see the official call announcement, please consult: Participant portal(opens in new window)
