- BACKGROUND
Following the “Agenda for a Sustainable and Competitive European Tourism” (COM (2007) 0621 – 19-10-2007) the Regions of Tuscany, Catalunya and Provence – Alpes - Côte d’Azur decided to set-up a regional network to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of tourism in Europe. Together with other European regions and public and private stakeholders they elaborated a Memorandum of Understanding, engaging them in a joint effort towards the realisation of the European agenda. In July 2009, NECSTouR, Network of European tourism Region for a competitive and sustainable tourism was officially created under the Belgium status of non profit organisation (asbl).
NECSTouR is a network driven by Regions. They represent the most strategic institutional level for programming, orienting and sustaining tourism development processes on three fundamental levels: member states, Regions and destinations. In this respect, Regions:
- Are able to steer national governments towards policies which both promote sustainable Development of tourism and encourage competitiveness of the European offer;
- Play a fundamental role in local development programming. In many countries state laws devolve self governing powers to the regions or the prerogative to issue legislation in the field of tourism. All Regions play a central role concerning programming, distribution and management of structural funds;
- Play a crucial role in regulating, programming and supporting local authorities.
Beside Regions, public and private organisation operating in the field of tourism at regional, national, European or international level can play an active part in NECSTouR. They bring in expertise and knowledge, they can represent user needs and contribute to policy developments, they can find partners and new operating markets for their business and services, and they can study the tourism sector and identify trends.
Objectives
- To develop and strengthen a framework for the coordination of national and regional development and research programmes in the field of sustainable tourism.
- To share and promote various forms of coordination of project activities already underway at regional level which can be made more efficient by an exchange of information and the implementation of joint activities.
- To become the main interlocutor of the EU to shape the new tourism policy in the framework of the Lisbon treaty.
