Sustainability
Sustainability plays an essential role in this regard, in all its dimensions. For this reason, VISITFLANDERS has developed a sustainability plan that takes into account the impact of tourism on all aspects of our region. This includes not only the destination of Flanders but also our organisation: VISITFLANDERS.
The sustainability plan focuses structurally on six pillars:
- Inclusiveness and accessibility
- Transport
- Communication and access to information
- Sustainability of the tourism offer and events
- Liveability
- Reduction of greenhouse gases
VISITFLANDERS has already made great progress in this regard, but the story is far from over. This multi-annual plan continues to evolve. In the future, the action plans will be expanded further to include other tourism aspects such as economy and employment, overtourism, waste management, quality of the natural environment, and so on, because the world continues to change, and because we want to take care of our environment.
