VERNE - The one-stop-shop of accessible circular solutions for sustainable tourism

Updated on 03.04.2025

The European tourism sector is vital for economic growth and employment. However, it is also responsible for negative social and environmental impacts. The EU-funded VERNE project aims to develop a framework to analyse the feasibility and impact of circular interventions in tourism, providing recommendations for authorities, the tourism industry, and citizens. The project will collaborate with various stakeholders to create scalable solutions tailored to specific needs and focusing on key circularity pathways: energy, water, mobility, food, and digitalisation. The project will implement these solutions in five pilot destinations, demonstrating their effects on the competitiveness and sustainability of tourism services. VERNE’s vision is to become a one-stop shop for the tourism sector, contributing to balance, prosperity, sustainability, and well-being.
