Χορηγίες μέχρι και €5,600 για αειφορία τουριστικών επιχειρήσεων από το Δίκτυο Νησιωτικών Επιμελητηρίων Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης - INSULEUR
Εξού και η διατύπωση μιας νέας προσέγγισης για την ανάπτυξη του τουρισμού - του βιώσιμου τουρισμού - η οποία να λαμβάνει πλήρως υπόψη της τις οικονομικές, κοινωνικές και περιβαλλοντικές του επιπτώσεις, ικανοποιώντας τις ανάγκες των επισκεπτών, της βιομηχανίας, του περιβάλλοντος και των κοινοτήτων υποδοχής του τουρισμού με όρους παρόντος και μέλλοντος.
Με τις πολύ μικρές και μικρομεσαίες επιχειρήσεις να αποτελούν το 99,8% των τουριστικών επιχειρήσεων στην Ε.Ε., το έργο με τίτλο Island Sustainable Tourism Action through Resilient SMEs (I-STARS) το οποίο συγχρηματοδοτείται από την Ε.Ε., προσδοκάει να αλλάξει τις καθιερωμένες τους πρακτικές προκειμένου να ανακάμψουν και να ανοικοδομηθούν κατάλληλα, αντιμετωπίζοντας τόσο τις ανησυχίες των πελατών τους - οι οποίοι ολοένα και περισσότεροι γνωρίζουν και ανησυχούν για το αποτύπωμα το οποίο αφήνουν οι διακοπές τους - όσο και τις περιβαλλοντικές απειλές.
Αυτό, ωστόσο, απαιτεί γνώση, νέες δεξιότητες και οικονομικούς πόρους από πλευράς των επιχειρήσεων. Σε αυτό έρχεται να απαντήσει το Σχέδιο Χορηγιών το οποίο υλοποιείται στην Ελλάδα από το INSULEUR στο πλαίσιο του I-STARS.
Στην Ελλάδα και στο πλαίσιο του έργου αυτού, τουλάχιστον 25 τουριστικές επιχειρήσεις με οποιαδήποτε τουριστική δραστηριότητα μπορούν να λάβουν επιχορήγηση για υπηρεσίες αξίας έως και 5.600 ευρώ, τις οποίες θα παρέχουν έμπειροι σύμβουλοι σε θέματα μεταξύ άλλων:
Οι αιτήσεις μπορούν να υποβληθούν μόνο ηλεκτρονικά (https://bit.ly/ISTARSapplication) και η τελευταία ημερομηνία υποβολής αιτήσεων είναι 25 Οκτωβρίου 2023, 17:00 CET (18:00 ώρα Ελλάδας)

With micro, small and medium enterprises making up for 99.8% of tourism businesses in the EU, the I-STARS project expects to change SMEs' established practices in order for them to recover and rebuild properly, addressing both the concerns of their customers - who are increasingly aware and concerned about the footprint their holidays leave - as well as environmental threats.

The second strand will create a critical eco - system of producers from the three islands that are and will be committed in producing sustainable food products convincing multipliers and trade channels on the competitive advantages of the sustainable products and production methods under promotion, increasing their sales / exports to the German market. An informative return - improvement of the perception of the German audience of products and production methods from three islands as sustainable and a direct economic return, generation of 12-million-euro new exports for a 1,3 million investment during the 36 months project period are the expected results.

Annual Evaluation and impact assessment of the 10113857 - MESA Grant Agreement
The Network of the Insular Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the European Union (INSULEUR) is seeking an evaluator to carry out three (3) Annual Evaluations report and the final impact assessment of the "Mediterranean Islands for Sustainable Agriculture" (MESA) project financed according to Regulation (EU) 1144/2014 of the European Parliament and the Commission to be implemented from January 2024 until December 2026.
I. Background
Three Chambers from EU Mediterranean Islands (Chamber of Rethymno (Crete), Camera di Commercio IAA di Cagliari - Oristano (Sardinia) and the Camara Oficial de Comercio Industria y Navegacion de Mallorca (Baleares) along with the Network of the Insular Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the European Union (INSULEUR) as Coordinator joined forces in order to promote Union's sustainable agriculture in Germany, the largest food market in the Union. The objective of the MESA project is to increase awareness on the sustainable agri food products and production methods of the three Mediterranean islands and their contribution to the climate, environment and animal welfare. The objective will be achieved via extensive, proven for their efficiency and efficacy, publicity actions and tailored B2B initiatives. Publicity actions provide in depth information to the general public on the intimate connection of the specific products and methods with the society and the environment, focusing on their sustainable Mediterranean character and highlighting key examples of each island especially concerning climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation. The first strand will result to the increase of knowledge of the German public (consumers 25-59 years old and +60 years old) on the sustainability notion of the Union's policies and strategies (farm to fork, Green Deal CAP) as applied in the three islands. The second strand will create a critical eco - system of producers from the three islands that are and will be committed in producing sustainable food products convincing multipliers and trade channels on the competitive advantages of the sustainable products and production methods under promotion, increasing their sales / exports to the German market. An informative return - improvement of the perception of the German audience of products and production methods from three islands as sustainable and a direct economic return, generation of 12-million-euro new exports for a 1,3 million investment during the 36 months project period are the expected results. The Grant Agreement 10113857 - MESA was signed on 19 December 2023 and the project starts on 1 January 2024.
II. Purpose and use of the evaluation
Evaluation surveys are provisioned for each year measuring outcomes and results of the project in activities level both in quantitative (expected outcomes vs actual outcomes and expected results vs actual results) and qualitative (cost vs outcomes and results, deviation occurred, additional results occurred, problems occurred and ways of handling etc). In the last year the evaluation analysis will include also results measurement in project level and impact assessment. Impact assessment will verify achievement of the objective and its results, informative and economic. The expected informative result will be the increase of knowledge of the German public on the sustainability notion of the Union's policies and strategies (farm to fork, Green Deal CAP) as it is applied in the three islands. The economic result concerns the increase of sales / exports to the German market from the three islands. Project includes activities that will be addressing to a large audience of the identified target groups. In numbers, project audience pool is large both concerning the consumers and the multipliers or trade. This provides the opportunity to apply in annual bases, verification tools of the evolution of project's expected results and project's activities impact. The evaluator will need to map the theory of change in order to track the progress occurred towards the final goal by setting a series of intermediate goals; will prioritize what will measure and the groups in terms of their influence, their opinion weight and in terms their credibility, choose level of evidence that is proportionate to the realistic size of the sample in order to track the extent to which the change has happened (using quantitative methods) and how the change happened (using qualitative methods), select sources and tools and in specific among (i) Surveys/questionnaires, (ii) interviews (iii) Social network analysis. The indicative methodology for measuring the informative results will be based on specialized research conducted by the external evaluator within Y1 in order to verify current state in three levels; recognition, perception and knowledge. Specifically, a survey will be carried out with interviews among market representatives, multipliers and other stakeholders (expected sample size 500 questionnaires for Y1). In parallel a continuous online survey on the website of the project promoted via social media accounts will be a valuable source of data for evaluator.
III. Objectives and scope of the evaluation
The evaluation will assess the effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, relevance, and EU value added of the MESA project. Moreover, the evaluator will monitor the project management and implementation, making recommendations for strengthening its administration and generate recommendations to enhance the relevance and effectiveness and. the impact of the project.
