Good morning from Greece :-)

Will you share the presentation’s powerpoint ? Thank you

Presentation will be shared after the meeting.

Thank you very much

can you please share the defination of SME? It is diffrent for different countries

I hope not different definition

I hope have EU standard definition

We are using the SME definition of the EU. I will shortly provide this in the chat.

https://ec.europa.eu/growth/smes/sme-definition_it

thx

Specific module on food’s wastes ?

SME definition: The category of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises consists of enterprises which:- employ fewer than 250 persons; and- have either an annual turnover not exceeding EUR 50 million or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding EUR 43 million.

Do Travelife Certified tour operators count as project partner members?

We are coming to the eligibility criteria now.

What about ETI ? More than 50 M in turnover. Thank you

I have lost audio. Is it the same for everyone?

Yes

Audio is working fine here.

no sound

back

The meeting is recorded and will be put on the SUSTOUR website.

She went out for a moment, but it is fine for us now.

Audio working well in here

Sophie, for the SME eligibility criteria, you can look at turnover OR balance sheet. Maybe your balance sheet data is within the criteria: < 43 million €.

And in case the answer is no, could membership to a group such as SETO justify the application ? Thank you

We are very interested in Accelerator Program, but we are from Albania

Thank You for the presentation! Do I understand it right that if we received funding under Tourban project, we are not eligible to apply? Thank You!

Would it be possible for a platform to apply? We are a B2C platform connecting travellers directly with local tour operators in their destination. So not technically a tour operator or travel agent, but the supply chain management could be interesting for us, and/or Travelife. We are members of DRV. We're called trip.me

OK, I think I received the answer, thank You :)

Thank you for your answer on food waste it’s very clear

Once the application is filled in and send (having received confirmation email) can we go back and make any ammendments to it?

What you means as "carbon programme" on a normal travel agencies business? travel agencies do not have the power to change fuel or transport choice

We are currently working towards Travelife Partner certification. Still in the early stages. Would it be better to finish this before applying for the accelerator programme?

secondly what is the benefits to reach the "travelife partner"?

Thank you, yes please do get in touch :) Emily@trip.me

yes thank you

for a small travel agency which programm do you suggest as first approach ?

perfect

If you are outside the EU, Certification will be very difficult to accomplish in one year.

are there any fees?

The SME support is FREE for SMEs that are members of a project partner or supporting associations. They are mentioned in the applicaton guidelines. If you're not member of one of these associations, then you have to cover an own contibution of 200 to 400€, dependinh on the size of your company.

I have to leave. Thank you, Laura and Christina, it was very helpful. Have a nice day!

Does SUSTOUR project include an introduction/access to CARMACAL ?

ok thank you!

Is there a cost to renew Travelife certification after the 2 years?

I need to leave. Thnk you very much. It was really helpful

Is that in euros?

Thank you very much, it was very well done and interesting

Thank you very much, very interesting :)
