SUSTAINABLE TOURISM PLANNING AND CONSULTATION: EVIDENCE FROM THE PROJECT INTER.ECO.TUR
Attendance and expansion growth rates in the territory make the tourism sector of significant interest for the implementation of policies on environmental protection at EU level. The need to protect local natural heritage, to integrate the development policies of the tourism industry with other sectors that characterize a given territory, and to enhance environmental performance in key local tourist industry are some of the priorities that may appear conflicting at times. This paper describes a method of analysis and planning coordinated and shared across territories likely to promote potential directives of local governance, being integrated and oriented towards the sustainable development of the area, by then analysing their adoptability and effectiveness in diverse contexts. The project INTER.ECO.TUR., co-financed by the European Commission under the EU's INTERREG III-C, provided the case study - used for this research purpose - useful to analyzing the dynamics of sustainable tourism development within the European Mediterranean area. The debate of its results offers evidence on the possibility to develop such a governance process effectively, providing a thorough an assessment methodology enriched by a clear-cut analysis of its applied experiences.
