Sustainable Tourism Agenda and Policy Guidance

The United Nations Environment Programme and the World Tourism Organization compiled a resource called “Making Tourism More Sustainable: a Guide for Policy Makers.” The guide includes policies and recommended tools collected from actual cases which successfully and effectively achieved sustainable development goals. The resource can be used as a blueprint for policies and tools by national and local governments, to be modified to the area’s particular circumstances and conditions (UNEP and WTO, 2005).
