Tourism is an increasingly significant part of the Georgian and Moldavian economy. In looking to further develop this, Kutaisi in Georgia and Ungheni in Moldova are mindful of the need to do so in a way that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. By this is meant finding a balance between the needs of the visitor, the environment and the host community for current as well as future generations. |

Jordan and Armenia have considerable potential to develop their tourist industries – and face considerable challenges to develop it. The idea behind this project is to work with local networks to develop models for sustainable tourism, especially in smaller more marginalized regions. Indeed such is the priority ascribed to working with these networks that the project is categorized as a good governance project, whose focus will “not be on what they are doing, but how they are doing it”. |
 PPRU - Partnership for urban renewal towards regional economic development
Location of Activities: Jordan, Lebanon,
Sector: Economic Development and Employment
Sector: Sustainable Tourism

Lead Partner:
Province of Turin (Italy);
Contact: Mario ARTUSO - email: mario.artuso@provincia.torino.it
The operational capacity of local authorities as well as the physical conditions within small local communities, both in Lebanon and Jordan, needs to be enhanced. They lack both funding and skills. But these can be addressed by helping them build networks that bring together the administration, the private sector, and civil society in a collaboration that benefits everyone. |
