For policymakers
The RETURN project recognizes the crucial role of policymakers and decision-makers in advancing sustainable tourism. As tourism grows, so does the need for effective strategies that ensure visitors contribute to the resilience and regeneration of the destinations they visit. Tourism revenue transfers offer a way to channel financial support from tourists to host communities, strengthening local economies, environmental conservation, and climate adaptation efforts.
