NECSTouR is constituted under Belgian law as a not-for-profit association.

As the network for more than 40 European regional tourism authorities and more than 30 associated members (universities, research institutes, representatives of tourism enterprises and sustainable tourism associations), NECSTouR proactively, and in partnership, works to address tourism challenges by identifying, capturing and sharing best practice solutions with our members and our key partners and alliances across Europe. In this way, through interregional cooperation, NECSTouR helps destinations achieve a smarter, more sustainable approach to tourism development.
