For the second time in three years, the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) has recognized SeaCras as a model of successful practice of implementing satellite technologies in the tourism sector!
At the EUSPA’s User Consultation Platform on October 8, 2024, during the ‘Tourism and Cultural Heritage‘ session, our CEO, Mario Špadina, presented our use cases, Coastal Intelligence: Earth Observation Data-Driven Reporting for Transparent and Anti-Greenwashing Practices in Sustainable Maritime Tourism and Cultural Heritage Management.
Mario explained how our solutions create added value for companies in the coastal tourism sector, including hotels, resorts, campsites, and marinas, by enabling transparent reporting on the environmental impacts of business activities and vice versa. He also highlighted that SeaCras tools enhance responsible management at the destination level and support cultural heritage preservation through impact assessments, risk evaluations, and adaptation strategies. These tools help communities adapt to climate change and build resilience, strengthening the sustainability of local areas.
