Dear participant,
 
Within the framework of  the Sustainable Tourism Programme of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP), the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), has recently embarked on the preparation of Guidelines to Integrate Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) into Tourism Planning as part of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goal(s), in particular goal 12 on "Ensuring sustainable consumption and production".

SCP is about minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of services and products so as not to jeopardize the needs of future generations. In other words, SCP promotes resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, sustainable lifestyles, as well as green jobs and better quality of life for all.

The objective of the present survey is to identify current practices and methods in national tourism planning, as well as tools or guidelines used by the private sector and civil society actors in measuring and monitoring tourism’s performance. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to be as complete and accurate in your responses as possible.

We appreciate your assistance in completing the survey and have estimated that it would require 20 minutes of your time. Your responses will be saved automatically, and you can leave and re-enter the survey at any point to complete the survey. Please note that only one reply per organization is required. In return for your support, you will receive feedback on the analysis of data collected prior to publishing. Your participation in the survey is voluntary and your responses will remain confidential. 

For more information please contact the 10YFP Coordination Desk at UNWTO: stp10yfp@unwto.org. 

Thank you very much for your kind cooperation.
