The future European Charter for a Sustainable and Responsible Tourism seeks to encourage sustainable and responsible tourism development and actions across Europe, by providing a common reference point for all tourism stakeholders.

The Charter should reflect the commitment of public and private stakeholders to develop tourism in the EU according to agreed objectives and principles.

The public consultation on the first draft text of the Charter ended on 20 April 2012, and the Commission plans to propose the Charter during 2013.
