Sustainability and networking are the two keywords of IO4 of the project European Youth Roots about how to build sustainable tourism networks.

But have you ever really stepped into an existing one thanks to conferences or other types of events?

Here we list 5 examples of European networks committed to making tourism more sustainable, both with bottom-up processes and top-down policy making, each one with its specific objectives and challenges to tackle.

We really recommend keeping updated through their channels!
