Many research projects about Tourism are possible thanks to the variety of experiences and competences characterizing CAST members and researchers in subjects going from Economics, Statistics, Management, Sociology to History and Geography. The European projects are particularly relevant for CAST activity, especially the “Interreg” for territorial cooperation, “Horizon Europe” and “Erasmus Plus”.
In addition, CAST can provide external expertise to other projects even if it is not a partner of it.
