EYR have launched our awareness campaign!!

Aimed at promoting the commitment of young entrepreneurs to innovative tourism, our campaign promotes those who carry out inspiring projects in fields such as sustainable, responsible, inclusive, participatory, ecological, fair, ethical, solidarity-based, and cultural tourism.

Through a series of incredible testimonies and the online publication of a guide illustrating the variety of existing initiatives, young entrepreneurs now have a range of information to help them on their journeys in innovative tourism.

If you are setting up your business and seek to be respectful of your environment, human beings, and local cultural heritage, explore our guide of those who have come before you.
