Off the Beaten Track

Off-the-beaten-track (OTBT) aims at empowering and improving the employability of adult women (30+ years) that are at risk of losing or have lost their jobs and incomes as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic by exploring the link between tourism, sustainable development and creativity (UNWTO Action Plan, 2010).
