The second international training<\/strong> of ECHO-Tourism<\/a><\/strong> project took place from 7th<\/sup> to 9th<\/sup> April, 2021. Almost 50 people participated and actively contributed to the exchanges online. The participants were tourism professionals<\/strong> (hotel or restaurant manager, tourism office employee, students in tourism, travel agency managers etc.), coming from the four countries involved in ECHO: Italy, Greece, Croatia and France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The objectives<\/strong> of the training:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Teach participants how to use the ECHO tools and be ready for the experimentation phase in their territory;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Identify all the required skills to deploy the ECHO-Tourism methodology in the territories;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Brainstorm on means and tools available to facilitate the creation of new networks at the national, regional, and\/or local level;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Brainstorm on the means and tools to promote responsible tourism actions and eco-friendly practices among tourists and tourism professionals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    A lot of workshops and sessions have been implemented during the 3-days training, allowing the participants to work closely and share their ideas, as well as project themselves in the experimentation phase<\/strong> among their territories. The training was led in English with the possibility of translation into French and work in national groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
