Digital Agenda for New Tourism Approach in European Rural and Mountain Areas.
Tourism already plays a great role and is the main economic sector in some rural and mountain areas. Its place can be further enhanced in all rural and mountain regions if supported by access to information and communication technologies (ICT), the driver of the knowledge economy. Currently, adoption of ICT applications in SMEs and in mountain and rural territories remains relatively low. DANTE aims to promote a new regional policy approach to design a knowledge-based plan for the tourism sector.

DANTE will:
– Improve the effectiveness of regional policies in the area of innovation
– Enhance the role of ICT in tourism industry in rural and mountain areas
– Promote a knowledge sharing process through an Interregional European cooperaton framework
To reach its objectives, the project optimises innovative good practices that demonstrate the benefits of Information Society for competitiveness of the tourism sector in disadvantaged areas.
