Title: CONCEPT NOTE – Towards the Development of the 10YFP Sustainable Tourism Programme

Abstract: This draft concept note for the development of the Sustainable Tourism Programme of the 10YFP will be finalized through an extensive global multi-stakeholder consultation process. This document is based on a stocktaking exercise and global survey on existing data and initiatives on sustainable tourism, engaging nearly 400 actors, as well as relevant UN resolutions and programmes. This document provides a general definition of sustainable tourism, presents the concept of sustainable consumption and production, and summarizes the challenges and opportunities to achieve sustainable tourism. The concept note outlines a vision and goal for the Sustainable Tourism Programme, as well as proposed programme areas for discussion and agreement. These documents will provide the basis for completing the 10YFP programme template, which will be officially submitted to the 10YFP Secretariat for a further public consultation, followed by approval by the 10YFP Board and official launch.
