On March 19th the workshop in Mauritania was held at the headquarters of the National Tourism Office (ONT), partner of the project, in the presence of the main professionals of the Mauritanian tourism scene and representatives of the ONT.
The participants, including tour operators with over 20 years of experience in the sector, to whom the EU WeMED Na_TOUR project was presented, were trained on the activity, safety and health of schoolchildren and eco-tourism packages with the aim of designing the ECO-Smart travel itinerary for pilot trip in Mauritania, through the integration of the services provided by local operators.
Among the goals of the training, largely achieved, below the priorities:
presenting the itinerary requirements for students' Eco-Smart trip to Mauritania- identifying and sharing needs, expectations and concerns regarding the safety and health of schoolchildren, but also the mobilization and awareness of the local community
- mapping tour operators' services to identify potential integrations and synergies
- reflecting on the action plan and mutual collaborative commitment, pursuing sustainable practices while respecting the environment.
Participants and ONT members identified potential integrations and synergies with the help of an interactive map, and then expressed their thoughts on redefining services and collaborations.
For the local trips, they have selected the city of Nouadhibou as the main destination.
