We reached out to our closing ceremony hearing from EU Commission @Tourban6 on "what's next" in tourism sector. Key words: resilience, sustainability, digital innovation, upskill and re-skill of start-ups & SMEs in sustainability. #Acceleration w/ @Tourban6#CASTFinalConference
Listening on reflections of investors and why they invest in #sustainabletourism - what are the smart strategies to invest? #accesstofinance is still one of the major barriers to scaling in #tourismtech and we drill into creating a favorable #investment environment for #startups.
Looking forward to discuss current main challenges in the #tourism sector and how they are affecting the EU regions and companies with the wonderful panel: Lucía Dobarro @ITCCANARIAS, Ricardo Machado @NONAGON_PCT, Cristina Pacheco @barcelonactiva and our host @Florian_Sora.
.@CastnetworkE Final Conference: Start of the session "Open #Innovation and co-creation for a #Sustainable tourism industry" addressing the relevance & prospects of innovative & collaborative ecosystems for the future of the industry & the support to #Tourism startups & #SMEs.
Pragmatic points about integration of #sustainability into practice & adaptation into every day action, while capturing the opportunity to augment behaviour in the post-covid #tourismrecovery given by @AlexPriante of @UNWTO at the CAST final conference moderated by @Florian_Sora
Really insightful points at the CAST Final Conference around the importance of digital, green initiatives based on data, and SME collaboration by Joshua Ryan-Saha of @TravelTechScot along with other panelists - we are really enjoying the shared learning for #sustainabletourism
We had so many fantastic moments - here a small glimpse of activities, locations, showcases, companies supported... a big thank you to all partners, companies, investors, collaborators, stakeholders, networks etc for joining us on this journey!

How should you approach an XR project? Some very important questions being covered by @Enozone3D as part of #ImmersiveTech Bootcamp- consider the message and audience first, what should the experience convey - before you choose the technology #creativity#tourism
