The sustainable tourism draft Action Plan summary, dated June 5, 2024, outlines the goals and strategies of the Sustainable Tourism Partnership. The primary objective is to advocate for sustainable tourism practices by raising awareness and educating stakeholders, citizens, and policymakers about its benefits and challenges. The plan seeks to leverage the economic, social, and environmental opportunities presented by sustainable tourism to foster a balanced and resilient recovery, promote inclusivity, and drive innovation. It focuses on developing guidelines for climate-friendly urban destinations, streamlining access to EU funding, enhancing the knowledge base on urban issues, and encouraging collaborative processes among various stakeholders.
The Action Plan is structured around four Working Groups focused on Environment, Development (two groups), and Unbalanced Growth. It emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement and innovation in sustainable tourism practices, encouraging ongoing research and development to refine and expand the application of Environmental Footprint methods.
