Welcome to Our Exciting Slow Tourism Project!
This website is dedicated to our EU funded project which is an international Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership project (Feb 2025-Jan 2028). We examine the benefits and possibilities of slow tourism thinking/activity in the world where the challenges related to tourism are tangible and so far-reaching in their effects that they can no
longer be ignored.
Following our activities on social media and our website you have the opportunity to find out more about slow tourism and how you can join in our activities and how you can travel more sustainably.
During the project, the viewpoints of various stakeholders (private individuals, companies and the third sector) and the world of values related to this topic will be mapped in six cities in the project partner countries in Finland, Slovenia, Germany, Estonia, Lithuania and Spain.

2026 Learning tour application period is starting!
This year, our Learning Tour will take students to Finland (Tikkurila), Estonia (Tallinn) and Slovenia (Ljubljana) via Wien. In each city we visit, we organise innovation workshops with local companies and associations interested in advancing Slow Tourism. In these workshops, students will craft ideas for sustainable and slow tours, they plan marketing and communication activities and they also create tourist personas.
If you are a student in a participating University, keep an eye on advertisements!
