The MEET project (“Mediterranean Experience of Ecotourism”), funded by the EU under the CBCMed programme, will be presented during a session dedicated to regional sustainable tourism initiatives at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Conservation Congress, to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, from 1 to 10 September 2016.
Thousands of leaders and decision-makers from governments, the public sector, non-governmental organisations, business, UN agencies and indigenous and grass-roots organizations will gather in Hawaii to discuss and decide on solutions to the world’s most pressing environment and development challenges.
The MEET project will be among the good practice examples of sustainable tourism to be showcased during the Knowledge Café session, to take place on 3 September on the theme “Regional Sustainable Tourism Initiatives as Conservation Change Agents”. As an outcome of the session, a paper containing joint recommendations will be prepared and linked to the 2017 UN Year of Sustainable Tourism.
