The Sustainable Top 100 Destinations of 2020 have engaged to become more future-proof and submitted their Good Practice Stories on how to do that.
The Sustainable Top 100 Destinations competition is organized to showcase sustainable tourism stories and good practices of destinations, as inspiring examples to others, to tour operators, and to travelers.
By publishing this annual list and by sharing their destination management good practices and success stories, the initiators acknowledge the steps taken towards making tourism destinations more sustainable, responsible, and more attractive from a visitor experience point of view.
The Top 100 committee stresses that selection for the Top 100 list does not mean the destination is sustainable. It means it is making good efforts and promising progress.
