Sustainable tourism strategy
Background
The sustainable tourism strategy sets out to create a more sustainable and competitive EU tourism sector, taking account of climate change, development imbalances, geopolitical tensions and structural fragmentation in the sector. Drawing on existing frameworks and EU tools, the strategy also aims to: create stronger links between tourism and other policy sectors; make the EU a global leader in sustainable tourism; support SMEs and destination management organisations to ensure balanced, long-term growth.
