Paths that last
Collaborating for a sustainable tourism in the Mediterranean
25 and 26 JUNE 2025, Split (Croatia)
“Paths That Last – Collaborating for a sustainable tourism in the Mediterranean“ is a key event organised by the Mediterranean Multi-Programme Mechanism which the Interreg Euro-MED Programme is part of together with Interreg Greece-Cyprus, Italy-Croatia, Italy-Slovenia, Italy-France Maritime, Italy-Malta, Italy-Tunisia, IPA South Adriatic and NEXT MED.
The event took place in Split (Croatia) on 25 and 26 June 2025 with the aim of capitalising on successful Interreg projects on sustainable tourism in the Mediterranean.
By bringing together the project partners from the 8 Programmes this event offered a unique opportunity to:
- Connect with project partners and beneficiaries across the eight programmes (the MMM currently has nine programmes, but in June 2025 there were eight).
- Share insights, best practices, and results from sustainable tourism initiatives.
- Co-develop strategies and key recommendations to influence the future of tourism in the Mediterranean.
