The DG Enterprise and Industry of the European Commission within the EIP (Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme) has issued a new Call for proposals for supporting the enhancement and promotion of transnational thematic tourism products.
For the purpose of this call, a sustainable transnational thematic tourism product should correspond to the following characteristics:

Moreover, the tourism product must:
1. BE TRANSNATIONAL (at least 4 countries)
2. BE THEMATIC
3. BE ALREADY DEVELOPED (e.g. at least the concept/action plan exists and some development activities, networking of stakeholders took already place)
