SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

Tourism is a key sector with potential for sustainable economic growth for both developing and emerging economies.

Swisscontact supports destinations and stakeholders in their development towards a balanced growth of the tourism sector. Sustainable tourism management actively contributes to a development that preserves the resources of the targeted destination. 

Even with the fight against poverty remaining a priority, all interventions aim to strengthen cultural, environmental, social and economic sustainability. Swisscontact implements a wide range of projects either for a destination, a region or at the national level. Our most common interventions focus on:

  • sustainable tourism destination development and management
  • tourism and hospitality capacity building and skills development
