Together with enpact, the TUI Care Foundation supported 150 innovative entrepreneurial teams in the tourism sector from emerging and developing countries with mentoring and financial assistance between December 2020 and May 2021. The programme is part of the ongoing Empowering Entrepreneurship Initiative and helped with crisis management strategies, protecting jobs and building sustainable local economic development.
Before the Corona crisis, the tourism sector employed around one in ten people worldwide and offered income opportunities to people from all walks of life, especially in developing and emerging countries. During the pandemic, international tourism came to an almost complete standstill and the livelihoods of millions of people working in the sector were under threat. People in emerging and developing countries, where there is little or no government support, were particularly affected.
This emergency aid programme counted on the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development as a project donor and focused on 150 innovative new businesses in Mexico, Kenya, Indonesia and Jordan. It aimed to empower local tourism structures to maintain jobs, created new prospects, and helped TUI destinations revive international tourism and collaborate with the key actors in the German tourism industry. The programme was open for young, innovative businesses that operate in the Travel & Tourism sector or along the Tourism supply chain.
The project ended May 2021.
