H.O.S.T. is co-financed by the COSME programme of the European Commission and has an overall budget of €233,990 for a period of 18 months from June 2015. The H.O.S.T. project objective is to contribute to sustainable revitalisation of local economies in order to generate a positive impact on the population and the natural and cultural heritage. The project will promote itineraries related to the theme of the olive tree in four Mediterranean territories - Italy, Slovenia, Greece and Malta - through sporting events, customised tour packages and a marketing strategy.

H.O.S.T. specifically focusses on the tourist sector as a turning point susceptible to drive economic development.
