On Wednesday the 23rd of June IUCN Med and the MEET Network presented its work related to ecotourism governance and development, at a workshop on sustainable tourism for Maldivian Protected Areas (PA).
On Wednesday, the 23rd of June 2021, IUCN Med hosted a webinar on Ecotourism development and the MEET Network for civil society organisations participating in PPI OSCAN ((Small scale initiatives for Civil Society Organisations in North Africa).
MEET Network Experiences will now be available to a wider global market thanks to an exclusive new partnership Intrepid Travel.
Mediterranean coastlines have long been a magnet for tourists seeking sun, sea, and cultural experiences. However, mass tourism trends have taken a toll on the region’s important natural ecosystems. In response to these challenges, the REBOOT MED Project, a 24-month flagship initiative, emerged to reshape the tourism sector and create sustainable eco/blue tourism products across six Western Mediterranean countries: France, Italy, Spain, Tunisia, Morocco, and Mauritania.
