SESSION 3: Key Challenges in Managing Destinations’ Natural and Cultural Assets
The aim of this session is to discuss innovative and multi-stakeholder management models
that enable destinations to preserve their natural and cultural resources for future generations,
while boosting their economic potential and ensuring a quality visitor experience. The
challenges to be addressed here within will range from issues such as climate change,
biodiversity, renewable energies and energy efficiency, as well as socio-cultural changes
brought about by tourism, to maintaining authenticity and managing overcrowding. While
this panel will point out some potential negative impacts of tourism if managed unsustainably
and without adequate planning, it will certainly illustrate its contribution to preserving natural
and cultural resources and safeguarding our common heritage.
