Celebrating Sustainable Tourism Excellence: ECST Awards Ceremony 2025
The upcoming Awards Ceremony for the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas (ECST) will take place on 19 November at the European Parliament in Brussels.
For the second consecutive year, the event will be kindly hosted by Honourable MEP Giuseppe Antoci, a representative of the Left Group and former President of the Nebrodi Regional Park.
This year, 24 Protected Areas will be recognised for their dedication to sustainable tourism. Many have been working towards this achievement for several years, demonstrating strong collaboration and long-term commitment to responsible tourism practices.
Among them, 6 Protected Areas will receive the ECST award for the first time, joining the ECST Network, while 18 Protected Areas are renewing their ECST commitments.
With these new additions, the ECST Network now includes 93 protected areas across 13 European countries, united by a shared vision: to develop tourism that benefits both nature and people.
The ceremony will honour their achievements and showcase inspiring examples of sustainable tourism in action.
Stay tuned to discover the awarded Protected Areas and join us in welcoming the new members of the ECST family!
