SMARTOUR springing into action at showcase events

30th April 2017

Last year Touch TD, along with project partners in the UK, Italy and Finland, conducted a widespread survey amongst tourism managers and staff, visitors and residents in destination communities, to discover the priority training needs identified by the sector.

Based on those findings, we have produced a series of learning materials, workshops and an interactive online training tool, which we are eager to showcase.
