We are excited to share the success of our recent webinar, which brought together more than 120 participants from four different countries to discuss the DIBEST Project — an initiative aimed at promoting sustainable blue tourism and digital development. Held in four languages — English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese — the webinar encouraged conversation, highlighting the project’s approach, which combines digital strategies, sustainability and support for micro-enterprises.
Participants from Ireland, France, Spain, and Portugal were able to follow the presentations in their native languages, ensuring that the information and discussions were accessible to all. This multilingual format was a key highlight of the event, demonstrating our commitment to inclusivity and global collaboration.
Key Takeaways
- Sustainability and Digital Innovation Go Hand-in-Hand
The DIBEST project demonstrated that digital tools and sustainable practices are not mutually exclusive. Instead, they can be combined to create a thriving blue economy that respects the environment while supporting local communities. - Global Collaboration Is Essential
Bringing together participants from four countries reinforced the importance of a collaborative, global approach to addressing environmental and economic challenges. Cross-border cooperation will be crucial in scaling the DIBEST model to other regions. - Digital Support and Courses for Micro-Enterprises: Empowering Small Businesses in the Digital Age
DIBEST is launching a range of digital support services and online courses to help these micro-businesses grow, compete and thrive in an increasingly digital marketplace.
Looking Ahead
The DIBEST project is only beginning, and the conversations sparked during the webinar will continue to shape its development. We’re thrilled to see such a strong interest in sustainable blue tourism and digital innovation, and we look forward to more collaborations in the future.
