DeployTour
The DEPLOYTOUR project aims to build a Common European Tourism Data Space (ETDS), enabling secure, efficient, and widespread data sharing across tourism sectors. By fostering collaboration among key stakeholders—public institutions, SMEs, and research bodies—the project will strengthen Europe’s digital infrastructure for tourism. DEPLOYTOUR will address essential areas like tourism flows, sustainability, and emerging trends through pilot use cases in varied destinations. Leveraging previous initiatives (DATES and DSFT) and establishing a governance model, the project will offer a comprehensive framework for tourism data exchange. DEPLOYTOUR will promote policy recommendations, innovation, and competitiveness, positioning Europe as a premier, sustainable tourism destination.

about
the project
Project acronym: DEPLOYTOUR
The DEPLOYTOUR project is dedicated to creating a secure, unified European Tourism Data Space (ETDS) that facilitates seamless and trusted data sharing across the tourism sector. DEPLOYTOUR will integrate digital advancements with tourism infrastructure, empowering SMEs, public institutions, and research bodies across Europe to engage in data-driven transformation. By leveraging prior initiatives, such as DATES and DSFT, the project will develop a flexible architecture for the ETDS and address essential issues like sustainability, tourism flows, and evolving market demands.
DEPLOYTOUR’s structure will include the development of a robust governance model, including a “minimum viable rulebook,” which will guide data sharing and ensures data privacy and security. Additionally, the project will demonstrate the ETDS's real-world applications through five diverse pilot programs across different European regions. These pilots will tackle specific challenges, such as optimizing tourism flows, supporting local economies, and advancing sustainable practices. By fostering collaboration and interoperability among tourism stakeholders, DEPLOYTOUR will strengthen Europe’s tourism resilience and competitiveness.
The project’s long-term goal is to establish the ETDS as a cornerstone of Europe’s tourism sector, providing data-driven insights to policy-makers and operators alike. With a focus on enabling a more sustainable, digitally integrated tourism experience, DEPLOYTOUR ultimately aims to make Europe a leader in sustainable and innovative tourism.
