In this edition, our newly elected President Mathieu Cuip reflects on NECSTouR’s continued advocacy at EU level, highlighting key engagements with European institutions and the growing role of regions in shaping the future European Tourism Strategy.

We look back on our Annual General Meeting in Bourges, our flagship gathering where members came together to exchange knowledge and reaffirm the central role of regions in delivering a more resilient, connected and sustainable tourism sector.

You can also discover updates from across our Climate, Data and Governance Hubs, including our participation as a Partner in the European Climate Pact, and progress in our EU‑funded projects.

In our Member Stories section, we continue to showcase inspiring initiatives from across the network from Catalonia, Lodz, and South Limburg, demonstrating how regions are advancing innovation, sustainability and data‑driven tourism development.

With a continued focus on collaboration, innovation and European engagement, this edition highlights how NECSTouR and its members are actively shaping a more resilient future for tourism in Europe.
