European Commission launches EU funding guide on Tourism

On 12 May 2021, the European Commission launched the Guide on EU Funding for tourism.

The guide includes a wide range of funding programmes included in the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027 & Next Generation EU budget and aims at helping national associations/companies find appropriate funding.

For inspiration, examples funded by previous EU programmes are also included in the guide.

If you are interested in submitting a project, please take into account the following steps:

• Identify the relevant programmes and financial instruments.
• Get familiar with the call-specific forms documentation (online).
• Find partners if useful or required.
• Submit your proposal, offer or application on time.

Please note that not all programs have already been approved by Council and the European Parliament. The guide will continue being updated accordingly.

HOTREC very much welcomes the guide and hopes that this will facilitate SME’s to access  EU funding.
