Their activities aim to raise awareness about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), promoting sustainable practices among clients. Prioritizing train travel reduces carbon footprints and supports eco-friendly transportation. The company emphasizes responsible food choices by sourcing organic and locally produced ingredients tailored to each region. Seminar locations are selected based on recognized sustainability certifications, such as eco-hotels and eco-complexes, ensuring alignment with their values. To further mitigate environmental impact, all CO2 emissions from events are offset through the Label Bas-Carbone.

Post-COVID-19, the best practice implemented by Pyko is to sustain mountain jobs by paying guides better based on the number of customers. The focus is on supporting the local economy by exclusively partnering with guaranteed eco-tourism accommodations that source locally. To promote a sustainable mountain environment, no motorized activities are offered. Customers are encouraged to use public transport, especially trains, for their travel.
During the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, ODYSWAY swiftly adapted its strategy to cater to the evolving needs of travelers, while also embracing sustainability as a core principle. With a strategic shift towards local tourism, particularly in France and across Europe, ODYSWAY capitalized on accessible transportation via train routes to facilitate travel during a time of closed borders and restricted mobility.Throughout the period from March to June 2020, ODYSWAY proactively crafted 15 immersive tours within National Parks and Natural Reserves (PN and PNR), focusing on local exploration and supporting regional economies. These new experiences not only showcased the breathtaking beauty of these natural landscapes but also fostered meaningful connections between travelers and the passionate locals residing within them. This shift led to an exclusive partnership with the federation of French natural parks (PNR).
Based on the skills needs analysis, targeted information materials can be created that provide detailed information on the skills required to meet the challenges of twin transition in tourism. This material should be designed in a clear and accessible manner, using simple language and practical examples to illustrate the importance of the identified skills.
Once created, the information material should be disseminated widely among tourism stakeholders through appropriate channels such as websites, social media, industry events, and partnerships with professional associations. It is important to reach a wide audience of tourism stakeholders and industry professionals to ensure that they are aware of the skills needed to address the twin transition in tourism.
In addition to providing information on skill needs, it is also important to offer practical support for training and developing the necessary skills. This could include promoting training programs, hands-on workshops, mentoring, and other professional learning opportunities that enable tourism practitioners to acquire the skills needed to adopt more sustainable and innovative practices in their work.
Created through a collaboration between CNA and GAL Rocca di Cerere Geopark, Consorzio Together enables SMEs to acquire specific skills that are directly relevant to the local reality and challenges they face in the twin transition context.
The consortium’s active involvement in supporting SMEs in understanding the need for specific skills for the twin transition underscores the importance of collaboration among stakeholders in promoting the sustainable development of the tourism sector. The consortium acts as a catalyst for change, providing SMEs with the resources and support they need to meet the challenges of twin transition and adopt more sustainable and innovative practices.
This initiative demonstrates the importance of providing SMEs with the resources and support they need to adapt to the ongoing changes in the tourism sector and promote sustainable and resilient development.
