We are proud to announce the release of the SUSRUR Toolkit for the Recovery of SMEs in Rural & Remote Areas, a comprehensive and practical resource designed to support tourism and service SMEs in building more sustainable, resilient, and competitive businesses in the post-COVID-19 context.
Developed by the SUSRUR consortium, the Toolkit is a set of practical tools designed to support rural tourism and service businesses in adapting, transitioning, and strengthening their operations. It brings together content, practical resources, useful links, and clear explanations that help SMEs understand how to innovate, digitalize, improve sustainability, and access European funding opportunities. Its usefulness depends on each project, the environment in which it is implemented, and the specific needs of each SME; for this reason, the toolkit is organized in a clear and accessible structure, allowing you to explore, compare, and apply the resources that best fit your goals.
The toolkit is divided into four main sections, each offering direct links to resources and tools, practical explanations, as well as other guides and platforms:
• Rural Tourism
• Sustainability and green transition
• Digital transformation
• EU funding opportunities
Structured in a clear and user-friendly way, the Toolkit allows SMEs, tourism professionals, and local stakeholders to explore and apply solutions that best fit their local context and business needs. Whether you are just starting your transition journey or looking to strengthen existing practices, this resource offers inspiration and concrete support.
The SUSRUR Toolkit reflects the project’s commitment to empowering rural tourism enterprises across Europe and strengthening local ecosystems through innovation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
