Collaborative platforms should provide SMEs with access to detailed information on industry trends, environmental regulations, funding opportunities, and best practices in sustainability. In addition, specific tools, such as practice guides, sustainability assessment tools and sustainable business models, should be provided to support SMEs in the process of transitioning to more eco-friendly and socially responsible practices.
Collaborative platforms should provide opportunities for knowledge sharing through webinars, workshops, conferences and discussion forums. These events allow SMEs to access industry experts, participate in targeted training sessions, and exchange ideas and best practices with other tourism stakeholders. Knowledge sharing stimulates innovation, inspiration and co-creation of sustainable solutions.
These lessons learned highlight the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing in fostering innovation and sustainable growth in the tourism sector.
