A training cycle for tourism businesses will take place in Slovenia from August 2025 to October 2026 as part of the TASTE project.
The programme consists of four in-person training sessions addressing key topics such as storytelling and destination branding, the integration of local and seasonal ingredients into tourism products, efficient resource management, and the creation of authentic food-based tourism experiences rooted in place and community.
The training cycle is led by Slovenian experts who are actively involved in the TASTE project. Having participated in international study visits and capacity-building activities within the project, they now transfer the acquired knowledge and best practices to tourism SMEs at national level.
