STRENGTHENING TOURISM KNOWLEDGE
The new Research Centre for Sustainable Tourism at the University of Zagreb will address a growing demand from UN Tourism’s Member States for applied, action-oriented research. The Centre is expected to deliver high-impact outputs across six key areas:
Tourism Governance: supporting multi-level governance systems with robust, data-driven policy frameworks;
Sustainability and Inclusivity: advancing the social, environmental and economic pillars of sustainability through rigorous research and impact monitoring;
Knowledge Exchange: acting as a platform for policy-relevant knowledge creation and dissemination;
Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration : bridging policy makers, industry and academia for evidence-based decision-making;
Climate Action in Tourism: promoting low-carbon solutions, renewable energy and circular business models;
Tourism Law: analyzing and monitoring the application of tourism law in Croatia and beyond, offering guidance and assessments of long-term effectiveness.
In line with the UN Statistical Framework on Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism, the Centre will track the environmental, social and economic impacts of tourism to guide public and private sector action. -TradeArabia News Service
