The Together for EU Tourism (T4T) Expert Group's Green Transition subgroup has rolled out strategic recommendations to standardize tourism's environmental impact assessment across Europe. These guidelines, directed at the European Commission, Member States, Regions, and the tourism industry, underscore the necessity of unified methodologies to revolutionize data gathering and policy direction. The initiative highlights the importance of supporting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to foster sustainable practices. By harmonizing efforts, the group aims to significantly mitigate tourism’s ecological footprint and enhance collaboration among stakeholders. For a deeper dive into these transformative strategies, readers are encouraged to examine the attached comprehensive document.
For a complete look at the expert group's recommendations and insights, check out the full post.
