This report is an overview of the recommendations from the overall results of the study. The purpose of the project was: i) to investigate the feasibility of a Europe-wide system of tourism indicators for the sustainable management of destinations, and ii) to make recommendations for its implementation. Considerable work has gone in to the development of the Tourism Sustainability Group (TSG) indicators and testing their feasibility in NECSTouR and EDEN destinations. However, there is currently no widely accepted process and methodology for the sustainable management of destinations using the indicators. The European Commission aims to address this and move towards more comprehensive, inclusive and sustainable ways of working, by providing an indicator system for destinations to use on a voluntary basis. This will ultimately improve the information available to tourism stakeholders and add value to the European tourism experience. The long term aim is that the system will serve as a guide to policy makers and other destination stakeholders for the improved management of tourism destinations across Europe. The task of the project team was to develop an inclusive, user-friendly methodology for applying indicators to enhance the sustainable management of tourism destinations across Europe.
