In Europe, tourism has a strategic importance as it is the third largest economic sector. According to the DG Growth, “a specific guide was necessary because of the diversity of the tourism sector’s needs and the range of EU thematic programmes that can consequently support it.”

This guide is of special importance to all Parks and partners working within the framework of the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas.
