As environmental awareness grows within the tourism industry, there’s a push for new ways to incorporate and measure sustainability. The OECD report offers 30 indicators and 57 metrics to track tourism sustainability in Andalusia, Catalonia, Navarra, and the Region of Valencia. These metrics cover economic benefits, seasonality, local resident perceptions, accessibility, climate change mitigation, and water management.
