Ristor
Rural innovation centers for sustainable and inclusive tourism
RISTOR revitalises two abandoned municipal buildings in Demati (Greece) and Dardha (Albania), transforming them into Rural Innovation Centers for Sustainable and Inclusive Tourism. These cross-border hubs will offer training, business incubation, cultural programming and community engagement, empowering local entrepreneurs and residents. By promoting accessible and heritage-based tourism, RISTOR strengthens rural economies and enhances regional cooperation.
Our role
P2P Lab leads the accessibility and inclusivity dimension of RISTOR by conducting accessibility studies, co-designing local plans, and ensuring that both Centers integrate inclusive, user-centered design. Drawing on its expertise in participatory research and community-driven innovation, it develops methodologies that make services welcoming to underrepresented groups. Through training, stakeholder engagement and capacity-building, P2P Lab ensures the Centres become models of equitable and community-rooted tourism.
