This document, published by Wonderful Copenhagen in September 2024, outlines a comprehensive strategy for tourism in Copenhagen from 2024 to 2030. The plan aims to redefine tourism by balancing its positive and negative impacts on society and the environment. Key objectives include accelerating the green transition by supporting Copenhagen's climate goals, creating enriching cultural exchanges and high-quality experiences, and ensuring tourism contributes broadly to the economy while promoting inclusive growth. The strategy is divided into two phases: initial actions from 2024-2026 to establish sustainable practices, followed by scaling up these initiatives from 2027-2030. Collaboration with partners and stakeholders is emphasized to drive sustainable tourism practices and inspire other regions to follow suit. For a comprehensive analysis and further insights, please refer to the linked source on the left-hand side of the platform (The original piece available only in Danish).
