🚀 CEEBA Joins the SMAC Project: Powering Green Tourism in the Mediterranean

Exciting news! The Confederation of Egyptian European Business Associations (CEEBA) is proud to announce its participation in the SMAC Project, a pioneering initiative to empower small hotels and guesthouses across the Mediterranean to become sustainable leaders.

The Challenge & The Solution

Did you know that over 96% of tourism businesses in our region are MSMEs? While the desire to operate sustainably is strong, many face significant barriers—finding the process too costly and complex.

The SMAC Project changes this equation. We are providing the hospitality sector with simple tools, AI-powered advice, and hands-on support to “go green” without the guesswork. Our mission is to make sustainability an accessible, practical, and competitive advantage for every small hotelier.

A United Mediterranean Effort

We are thrilled to join forces with an incredible network of partners dedicated to building a more sustainable, competitive, and resilient tourism sector for our shared region.

Our Project Partners:

Επιμελητήριο Δράμας – Chamber of Drama (Greece)
Alexandria Chamber of Commerce (Egypt)
ASCAME – The Association of Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry
Democritus University of Thrace – Special Account for Research Funds (Greece)
Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Tunis – CCITunis (Tunisia)
Adana Metropolitan Municipality (Turkey)

Together, we are #MADE4MED and co-funded by the #InterregNEXTMED Programme.

Join Us on This Journey

We invite you to follow our progress as we develop and deploy solutions that will shape the future of hospitality in Egypt and across the Mediterranean.
