dc.descriptionThe overall objective of SUS-ISLAND is to promote sustainable tourism in Mauritius by demonstrating and scaling up a self-sustaining mechanism for improving sustainability impacts along the value chain, and improving awareness and market of sustainable tourism products. Leveraging the significant role played by TOs as one of the major economic agents of mass tourism, SUS-ISLAND intends to position Mauritius as a sustainability beacon among the Vanilla Islands. Specifically, SUS-ISLAND will support TOs and their suppliers to develop, promote and scale up sustainable tourism innovation, which reduces their respective value chain footprints (negative sustainability impacts, e.g. resource and energy consumption, pollution etc.), improves handprints (positive sustainability impacts, including green jobs generation, local community empowerment, sustainability awareness, quality of life etc.) and improves tourists’ satisfaction. SUS-ISLAND, therefore, contributes to expanding both the supply and demand of sustainable tourism products.en
