Community Tourism
in Europe
Community Tourism in Europe often focuses on strengthening local identity, creating more inclusive tourism, and helping visitors connect with communities beyond traditional tourist routes. Though one of the world’s most visited regions, many communities here are exploring new ways to ensure tourism creates local value and opportunity for those traditionally underrepresented in tourism.
Every destination is different, but the goal is the same: tourism that reflects what communities want for themselves.
