Sustainable tourism: action-research and evaluation
ARCO Action Research for CO-development
ARCO è un centro universitario che offre servizi di consulenza, ricerca e formazione sui temi dello sviluppo sostenibile
Good morning,
this month we have been focusing on projects addressing the sustainability of tourism on the shores of the Mediterranean and in Armenia. Sustainable tourism promotes the enhancement and protection of socio-cultural and environmental resources at local level. It also places the local territories, their communities and their local characteristics at the centre, therefore opening up new opportunities for their inclusive and sustainable development.
