Drives innovation in sustainable tourism with the support of the Recovery Plan and Next Generation funds

At Biosphere, we firmly believe that sustainability cannot be managed without knowledge. That’s why we are proud to announce that we have been selected as beneficiaries of a public grant awarded under the “Last Mile” digitalization aid program, promoted by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism (Order ITU/1391/2023) and financed by the European Next Generation EU funds, as part of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan.

With support from the EU Recovery Plan and Next Generation funds, Biosphere is developing an innovative CMS that leverages real data, AI, and years of experience to help destinations and tourism companies make smarter, more sustainable decisions aligned with the SDGs.

This institutional support recognizes the strategic value of one of the most significant projects we will be launching in the coming months: the Semantic Content Management System (CMS) specialized in sustainable tourism.

The purpose of this CMS is to serve as an advanced documentation infrastructure, built on the real-world experience we have accumulated over years of certifying and supporting tourism companies.

We are developing a repository that will organize and systematize both structured and unstructured data, allowing us to:

  • Preserve and leverage the knowledge generated by hundreds of accommodations, restaurants, destinations, and tour operators already applying our methodology.
  • Identify and document established best practices.
  • Generate comparable and traceable indicators by activity, sector, or territory.
  • And in the short and medium term, apply AI/ML technologies to offer recommendations based on real and verifiable data.

This project also represents another step in strengthening the role of our consultants and auditors by providing them with more robust and agile tools to support organizations in their improvement processes.

We also know it will be especially useful for those companies seeking to certify their commitment to the SDGs, optimize their processes, and stand out in an increasingly demanding market.
At Biosphere, we are convinced that only with structured information and shared knowledge can we build a fairer, more sustainable tourism industry that is ready for the future.

We will continue to share every development. Thank you for joining us.
