The Mediterranean Sustainable Tourism Convention 2019 fosters a sound debate on key topics to promote sustainable tourism by providing a platform to showcase solutions developed by the MED Sustainable Tourism Community, an Interreg MED Programme initiative. The Convention gathers more than 70 speakers and 200 representatives at European, national, regional and local levels of the tourism sector from private and public entities and higher education institutions.

The Convention is structured around one day and a half of panel discussions, thematic round tables and parallel workshops organised by the projects of the MED Sustainable Tourism Community. In the final day participants will have the opportunity to experience what sustainable tourism means in Barcelona and it surrounding territory in four site visits.

At the panel Labels and certifications to promote tourism sustainability Herbert Hamele (ECOTRANS) will present the global Green Travel Maps of environmental and sustainable certified tourism as a result of the European TRIANGLE Knowledge Alliance project and as an opportunity for collaboration to strengthen sustainable tourism development in the Mediterranean region.
