NO This report aims to describe the changes brought to the tourism sector by the pandemic, as well as opportunities, challenges, and recommended measures for mainstreaming sustainable tourism. It first outlines the pre-pandemic environmental context of tourism and then reviews the implications of COVID19 for mainstreaming sustainability in tourism, and adequate financing responses. The report focuses on impacts on the environment, climate, waste and water linked to changes in tourism, and recommends 10 policy measures for the next decade to transform tourism development and build a resilient, inclusive, net zero and resource-efficient sector. The scope is the pan-European region; however, when pan-European data is not available, the report uses two types of data i) Europe (excluding Central Asia) and ii) European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) data to show trends and the current status.
