Sabrina Ielmoli (TrainforTrade) and Jean-François Baylocq (E-Tourism) attended a meeting on the "Creation of network, best practices and sustainable tourism in the Western Mediterranean". The workshop, organized by Formez-CAIMED, was held in Naples, Italy.

On 21 and 22 March , 2005, Formez-Caimed, in collaboration with the Bocconi University, organized an initial meeting of western Mediterranean institutions, operators and experts working on the integration of Mediterranean tourism, with a focus on sustainability and cooperation between the countries on the shores of the Mediterranean. The meeting will focus on the Mediterranean regions of Italy (Liguria, Umbria, Tuscany, Sardinia, Latium, Campania, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily), France, Spain, Portugal, Malta, Cyprus, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and the Lybian Arab Jamahiriya.

The goal of this initiative is to activate a system that will gather existing best practices and projects in sustainable tourism in the western Mediterranean in order to create a single network accessible to all.
