NECSTouR, the Network of European Regions for Competitive and Sustainable Tourism, is the community of European regions advocating for sustainability – economic, social and environmental – as a crucial driver of destination competitiveness. The network brings together 44 Regional Authorities competent in tourism (NUTS I and II) and 32 academic organisations, sustainable tourism business associations and networks, representing 19 European countries ensuring a wide regional outreach and impact. NECSTouR develops interregional projects and fosters cooperation to enable sustainable tourism governance in Europe. We empower destination leaders to deliver sustainability by connecting regional tourism governance bodies with EU levels of government, EU funding, academic organisations and the private sector.
