Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
ARCHICHARTER promotes the improvement of Parks environment through the implementation of the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism (Charter) in parks of the ARCHIMED area, where tourism is a significant economic activity but can be a threat.
Infact, tourism is fundamental for economy in Mediterranean area with strong natural, cultural and traditional values, where natural systems and human activities are interdependent, and economic activities strongly influence the ecosystems status, hence the need to adopt a perspective which takes into account these inter-relations in local development actions.
This concern may find an useful tool in the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism (Charter), a strategic instrument jointly defined by Europarc and the EU DGXI in agreement with IUCN for promoting sustainable tourism in protected areas.
The Charter (see description in documents) considers every local resource as the core of tourist attractiveness and, therefore, compels park administrators, tourist operators and all relevant stakeholders to set up a network to jointly define tourism development strategies combined with environment protection and to valorize cultural heritage.
Within the ARCHIMED area no parks still joined the Charter. The proposed project aims at enhancing Charter's implementation, stimulating public/private synergies inside the parks and among parks of different regions. Moreover, the project aims at integrating the Charter with elements of additional voluntary tools such as EMAS, Local Agenda 21, Ecolabel.
