The Tourism Research Innovation And Next Generation Learning Experience (TRIANGLE) Programme is a response to a wide range of contemporary sustainability challenges and opportunities highlighted in the global SD Goals 2030 such as climate change and biodiversity loss facing European tourism stakeholders, in particular the need for sustainable consumption and production in the Europe’s Natura 2000 network, The project aims to build a European-wide knowledge alliance that will link research and higher education bodies to tourism sector SMEs through regional sustainability knowledge –based innovation training processes in European tourism protected area destinations. It will simplify and improve the way higher education and training institutions work with tourism SMEs to implement innovations that will improve environmental impacts, cut costs and speed up learning processes to enable TRIANGLE users to better compete in the global tourism market.
