A document was created which provides the vision, goals and values of the 10YFP as well as its functions, organisational structure, means of implementation, criteria for programmes design and an initial, non-exhaustive list of five programmes.
Document in English
This document should be taken into account in policies and decisions that lead to the development of responsible tourism by governments, private sector, consumers,etc.
