Empowering Entrepreneurship Initiative: 

Tourism Recovery Programme

Introduction

The Empowering Entrepreneurship Initiative has launched the third standalone programme designed to deliver economic relief from the COVID-19 crisis to tourism-related businesses: Tourism Recovery Programme.

A total of 415 teams of innovative travel and tourism businesses in the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of Kenya, the United Mexican States, the Republic of South Africa and the Republic of Tunisia will be supported by the programme with a combination of mentoring, workshops, network building and financial support. The programme will be implemented in cooperation with the TUI Care Foundation.

The Empowering Entrepreneurship Initiative was developed by the non-profit organisation enpact e.V. and was launched in 2020 with two programmes designed to deliver economic relief from the COVID-19 crisis. The Tourism Recovery Programme is the third standalone programme of the initiative, aimed to support the resilience and recovery of businesses in the tourism sector. The COVID-19 Relief Programme is supported by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and is implemented together with enpact and TUI Care Foundation.

During the application process, your personal data is collected by enpact e.V. (“enpact”, “we”, “us”) as data controller.

Since we are located in Germany, your data is processed in the European Union. With regard to the processing of your personal data, your fundamental rights and freedoms as a natural person are protected by the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, “GDPR”) and further applicable national law.
