From 30 June to 2 July 2026, SustainTour partners participated in an inspiring three-day study visit in Kalabaka–Meteora, Greece, focused on sustainable destination development, heritage interpretation, community-based tourism and environmental responsibility.
The programme combined expert sessions with practical field visits , including the Meteora–Pyli UNESCO Global Geopark 🪨🌿, the Holy Monastery of Saint Stephen, the Theopetra Museum and Cave, Gavros village, the Digital Projection Centre and several local museums.
Participants explored how cultural and natural heritage, digital storytelling, outdoor tourism, local businesses and community participation can contribute to more sustainable, inclusive and resilient tourism destinations.
The visit concluded with a joint reflection session on how the lessons and good practices identified in Meteora can support sustainable tourism education and strengthen the capacities of VET providers in Kosovo and Albania.
A valuable opportunity for learning, collaboration and the exchange of innovative practices in sustainable tourism!
