ACTION: To create and implement a Forum of stakeholders, involving private and public local actors of tourism and of nature conservation, in all European Protected Areas certified by EUROPARC as Sustainable Destinations in the framework of the EUROPARC Programme “Charter of Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas - ECST”. The Forum will be coordinated by the Protected Area management body.

According to the 5 principles of the ECST Programme, A permanent Sustainable Tourism (ECST) Forum, or equivalent arrangement, should be established between the protected area authority, local municipalities, conservation and community organizations and representatives of the tourism businesses. The constitution and numbers involved in the Forum and any associated Executive Committees or other structures, and the regularity of their meetings, should be sufficient to enable effective discourse and decision making. Links with regional and national bodies should be developed and maintained. The Forum should also engage with other Forums in the ECST Network.

OUTPUT: 100 Protected Areas have have an active Forum in 2024 , organized following the local needs and caracteristics. The Forum participes in the identification and realization of ECST strategy and action plan. The Forum is regularly internally monitored and revised each 5 years, after the evaluation provided by EUROPARC verifiers.
