The biosphere.center creates a broad basis of knowledge and experience, and provides the foundation of innovative strategies to promote and develop biosphere reserves. Sustainable tourism is a key part of this.
Network and research partnerships
Social Entrepreneurship Competition in Tourism
The global competition of social enterprises in tourism was created in 2019 as a spin-off from a course at HNEE and is held annually with strong partners from the tourism industry worldwide.
It is the world's only platform for social entrepreneurship in tourism - combining very exciting approaches with strong industry partners and mentors.
