THE THREE-YEAR JOURNEY OF THE ITF-STD
The Marrakech Task Force on Sustainable Tourism Development has completed a three-year programme of work (February 2009) that resulted in the development of capacity building tools, policy recommendations and guidelines, new partnerships and networks on sustainable tourism development.
This report presents the objectives and projects that have been developed by the International Task Force on Sustainable Tourism Development (ITF-STD) within the Marrakech Process and its mechanisms for supporting the elaboration of a 10-Year Framework of Programmes (10YFP) on sustainable consumption and production (SCP). The summary of the ITF-STD international meetings sets out its activities promoting SCP patterns in the global tourism industry and other stakeholders.
The set of policy recommendations on sustainable tourism development, which has been built upon the theoretical knowledge and practical experiences achieved through this three-year journey of the ITF-STD, is annexed here. Around 40 projects and their outreach are also detailed to illustrate the work of the Task Force and its partners on responding to the challenges of furthering the implementation of the sustainable tourism development concept. This report will be presented at the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) in the 2010/2011 cycle when the 10YFP on SCP will be discussed.
The three-year journey of the ITF-STD has enabled a transition of this initiative into a United Nations Partnership for Sustainable Development. This transformation will allow the Task Force for Sustainable Tourism to get even more out of the work it has already undertaken.
