Methodological work on measuring the sustainable development of tourism : Part 2: Manual on sustainable development indicators of tourism

In May 2004, Eurostat commissioned Statistics Sweden to conduct a methodological study on the sustainable development of tourism, the environment being a factor that is increasingly influencing tourist demand. The result is presented in a report and a manual for a set of 20 core indicators for sustainable tourism, including detailed descriptions of each indicator. This core set forms a base of indicators that may be used both at national, regional and local levels in EU countries, and at Community level.
