CoastalPro has been featured by CINEA as a success story in advancing skills for coastal tourism.

The recognition highlights the project’s approach to training through gamified, practice-oriented learning, designed to bridge the gap between education and real-world application in the blue economy.

The feature confirms a core premise: skills development in coastal tourism becomes effective when it moves beyond static content and into interactive, experience-based formats aligned with industry needs.

CoastalPro contributes a replicable model combining digital tools, serious games, and work-based learning pathways. The focus remains on employability, adaptability, and system integration rather than isolated training outputs.

This acknowledgment places the project within a small set of initiatives demonstrating tangible impact under the EMFAF framework, particularly in connecting innovation, education, and labour market needs in coastal regions.
