As tourism continues to play a critical role in Europe's economy, cities are actively seeking innovative approaches to ensure sustainability and inclusivity. The Urban Agenda for the EU Partnership on Sustainable Tourism has launched two essential surveys, inviting tourism professionals, public authorities, and civil society organizations to share their experiences and insights.

These surveys focus on two pivotal areas: diversifying tourism beyond traditional seasonal peaks and enhancing accessibility to ensure destinations are welcoming to all. By gathering diverse perspectives, the initiative aims to develop comprehensive Handbooks that offer policy recommendations, inspiring case studies, and practical tools for urban authorities across Europe.

This collaborative effort highlights the importance of a multilevel governance approach, uniting cities, member states, and European institutions to tackle urban challenges head-on. With your input, we can forge a vibrant, resilient tourism sector that benefits both local communities and visitors.

Join this crucial conversation. Participate in the surveys by end of March 2026 and help shape the future of sustainable tourism. For more information and to get involved, visit Urban Agenda for the EU's official website.
