    The Interreg Med Sustainable Tourism Community has welcomed the continuation of a series of projects with the aim to transfer their outputs to more territories of the Mediterranean and beyond. These projects were provided with the opportunity to identify their most concrete outputs, the territories that would be willing to adopt these outputs, the replicability conditions for their adoption, implement them together with the receiving territories in order to incorporate them officially into their operational programmes. The recommendations emerging from the activities of the transferring projects are considered as practices of excellence in terms of transforming ideas, methods and tools into actions that the territories can easily adopt and implement.

    This panel centres on the experiences gathered by 6 transferring projects that the Med Sustainable Tourism Community welcomed one year ago and their work during this whole year for the transference of concrete tools and outputs to selected Mediterranean destinations.
