Through this program, RNDRL aims to accelerate the transition to inclusive rural tourism. This new phase prioritizes environmental sustainability, the preservation of local heritage, and the promotion of sustainable economic growth at the local level.
Budget-Friendly Innovations
This year, the program is shifting its focus to the development of innovative and affordable tourism services. The primary emphasis is on formats based on “immersion in nature” experiences.
We welcome: master classes on medicinal plants, authentic (local products and recipes) gastronomy, outdoor recreational activities, creative retreats, craft workshops, and more.
Inclusivity
Another defining feature of this program is its priority support for women and people in socio-economically vulnerable situations. The program encourages the active participation of those who are just starting out in economic activities, have limited access to resources, or come from communities with limited development opportunities.
Regional Focus
Geographically, the program is primarily focused on northern and central Moldova. A total of 20 spots are available for beneficiaries under the program. Training is conducted according to international standards and includes a grant component. Selected participants will gain access to a comprehensive vocational training course consisting of eight theoretical and practical sessions led by experienced trainers from the Republic of Moldova and Poland.
Half of the course graduates will receive consulting support and grants of up to 2,000 euros.
