Supporting the Development of a Transnational Thematic Tourism Strategy for Rural Regions in Europe.
Escape2 is a European Erasmus+ project, involving rural regions from EU countries with a lower level of productivity and employment but rich in landscapes, culture, and heritage. Unfortunately, this potential is not fully exploited especially due to the current economic situation of the rural and mountain areas.
This project responds to the challenges faced: lower level of productivity and employment, marginalised communities, economic and social poverty. It does this by developing a High-Quality Rural Tourism Strategy inclusive of innovation drivers and learning stimuli for tourism start-ups & spin-offs. Recipients will build customised, unique skills and competencies in different spheres of the rural tourism sector which will help them overcome their business and regional challenges.
