The European Union’s Orientation Paper, published in June 2023, outlines the objectives and methods of the Sustainable Tourism Partnership. It includes plans for meetings to prepare, adopt, and implement the Action Plan, promoting sustainable tourism in urban areas. The paper highlights the significance of urban tourism for socio-cultural and economic development. It sets out goals for better regulation, funding, and knowledge sharing among stakeholders. Additionally, it emphasizes a collaborative approach, aligning with the EU Transition Pathway for Tourism and coordinating with other relevant initiatives. For more details on the partnership’s objectives and functioning, please refer to the attached link.
