Proje Özeti

The INSPIRE project, led by Technological University of the Shannon (Ireland) will support the needs of refugee led tourism entrepreneurs. The
project will identify good practice case studies, barriers to success case studies, and lessons applicable across the partner countries in the EU
dealing with the refugee crisis. To this end, the project aims to develop resources to support the social integration of refugees in Europe. The
project will produce a detailed report conducted from primary and secondary fieldwork in Ireland, Belgium, Croatia, Turkiye, & Ukraine, and
will create a good practice user guide for refugee tourism entrepreneurs. This will be supported by course materials, a website and mobile
application. A final resource will be the publication of a searchable databank of supports for refugee tourism entrepreneurs, including
education and training supports, finance options, networking and business supports. The partners of the project are: Businet, KHNU and DVA
(Ukraine), DEU (Turkiye), PAR (Croatia) and PXL (Belgium). The contact academics at DEU are Prof.Dr. Gurhan Aktas and Assoc.Prof.Dr. Elif
Uzgoren. The project will run between Nov 2023 and Nov 2025.
