Recovery and Resilience Facility

This webpage covers the Recovery and Resilience Facility strictly as part of funding projects related to tourism.

Why is it relevant to tourism?

The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is the centrepiece of Europe’s recovery plan, NextGenerationEU. It finances reforms and investments in EU countries from the start of the pandemic in February 2020 until 31 December 2026. Its aims are to

  • mitigate the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 crisis
  • make European economies and societies more sustainable, resilient and better prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the green and digital transitions

It is relevant for all industrial ecosystems, including tourism. EU countries are responsible for developing national recovery and resilience plans, containing investments and reforms to address the key challenges identified in the European semester framework, and to support the green and digital transition.
