Newscat is an European Erasmus+ funded project, aimed at inclusiveness in the tourism industry (e.g handicapped, elderly etc). Tour guides will be trained to be more aware of inclusiveness, and apply the knowledge in their job, being 'Customer service' trained by Newscat. The course will be offered online, as well as 'offline'. BUas is involved in establishing the online course, and organise several meetings, like a multiplier event.
