Sustainable tourism, hospitality development requires informed participation of all relevant stakeholders, as well as strong political leadership to ensure wide participation and consensus building. Hospitality sector will be more sustainable through SMEs and their ecosystem's circular movements. CSS-H increases and encourages joint action across the value chain by providing tools and materials for increased circularity cooperation across the whole chain.

Create circular journeys for hospitality to generate awareness, to facilitate understanding of the learning process for the target group. Develop a specific self-scan for micro-SMEs in the hospitality sector. Elaborate specific learning content for hospitality (micro)SMEs. Support the creation of a (regional) network toolkit for SMEs on how to set up a network by involving relevant parties and promoting their cooperation in order to become a circular value chain.

CSS-H provides (micro)SME owners, managers and staff with the knowledge, skills and competences to become more circular, through the development of an evidence-based auto-diagnostic tool that guides them to the specific knowledge most relevant for their situation and business, not only from the perspective of their own internal processes, but also from their position within the value chain (and its processes) which requires coordinated (local) action with the rest of the actors in the chain.
