Preliminary Study for the UNWTO International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO)

This document is a preliminary study for the UNWTO International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO).

Based on these criteria, the department identified options for consideration by the
YTDS Steering Committee and is now seeking to implement its recommendations to:

• adopt the United Nations World Tourism Organization’s (UNWTO) International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO) framework; and
• become a member of the network to obtain support and guidance with framework implementation.

Implementing the framework and becoming an INSTO member will provide the
sector with knowledge on the state of sustainability within the industry from year
to year.
