POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE MED SUSTAINABLE TOURISM COMMUNITY

Plan Bleu is partner  of the MED Sustainable Tourism Community, a transnational partnership of 18 sustainable tourism projects funded by the Interreg MED Programme.

 

The Community, which aims to move towards sustainable coastal and maritime tourism by capitalising on project results and lessons learned,  has identified in its Policy Recommendations the four most urgent action areas: monitor sustainability: where are the knowledge gaps in tourism policy-making? What is the best way to bridge the gaps in tourism data?; reduce the environmental, cultural and social impacts of Mediterranean tourism ; ensure sustainable and responsible economic growth and prosperity in the Mediterranean through tourism: What is the best way to address the complexity of the tourism sector, including local actors, decision-makers and consumers?; establish governance mechanisms that lead the wide variety of stakeholders towards more sustainable, more responsible tourism.
