Sustainable Tourism Community Newsletter #12, April 2020
Dear <<Name>> <<Surname>>,
The Sustainable Tourism Community is deeply committed in contributing to the recovery of the tourism sector in a sustainable and resilient way, as well as in calling for the greatest support to tourism as one of the strategic assets for the Euro-Mediterranean coastal region. Assessing the urgency of the work for including sustainability as a key approach to develop recovery plans, we gathered some of the most interesting webinars on this topic.

ABOUT US
The Sustainable Tourism Community - an Interreg MED initiative co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) - has been launched in November 2016 for a three-year period and, in October 2019 it has been renewed until June 2022 and enriched with five new territorial cooperation projects.
The Community can now rely on 22 territorial cooperation projects and almost 300 organisations (public authorities, private companies, universities, NGOs and international organisations) active in 12 European-Mediterranean coastal areas to promote sustainable tourism by capitalizing on tools and good practices developed by its projects. Besides, two Strategic Projects, approved in October 2019, focusing on governance of sustainable tourism will join forces with the Community to make tourism a real driver for inclusive and sustainable growth.
