Our Network

The SMART network connects forward-thinking organisations across Europe working to rethink how destinations grow, measure impact, and engage travellers responsibly. Together, we combine expertise in sustainability, data, policy, and digital innovation to shape the future of European tourism.

The People Behind SMART

The SMART project is powered by a dedicated partnership of organisations that combine expertise in digital innovation, sustainable tourism, and European cooperation. Together, they work to promote smarter, more inclusive, and sustainability-oriented tourism practices across Europe.

Green Village (Greece)

Promoting sustainable and community-driven tourism practices from Greece.

GREEN VILLAGE

Green Village is a tourism SME, founded in 1994 in the seaside town of Xylokastro, in the Peloponnese. It offers a “community-like” accommodation experience as it comprises 20 independent villas inside a Mediterranean garden full of indigenous plants and trees and has been providing its services to hundreds of thousands of guests and visitors. Apart from the regular tourism and hospitality services GV has always been focusing on the organisation of events and initiatives related to sustainable regional development, culture, community building, and education. These initiatives play an important role in the cultural life of Xylokastro. The last few years the Green Village management team has placed its focus on implementing approaches, training and practices related to sustainable tourism. Both the overall structure of the hotel premises and its brand name offer great potential on evolving and transforming GV into a hub for sustainable development for the whole region.

Expanding the Network

Our network extends beyond the project partners. SMART collaborates with other European initiatives, research networks, and policy platforms committed to digital innovation and sustainability in tourism.
