Methods & Tools

Many attempts have been undertaken to determine what tourism industry can do to contribute to sustainable development in general and sustainable tourism in particular. Some of these remain on a more abstract level, a few manage to pay attention to the realities of the majority of entrepreneurs, who are struggling to keep their business running and make a living out of it.

Here we have made a small collection of some of the methods and tools which have been developed to assist entrepreneurs in practice, to run their business in a more sustainable way. First we deal with the accommodation sector, then with the touroperating sector. Then we deal with tourism planning methods for governments and assistance agencies.
