Mountains of the world - Tourism and sustainable mountain development

This brochure should serve to illustrate "good and bad practices" in the light of concrete experience. It offers ideas, proposals, criteria, elements and approaches that can be considered in an appropriate form and applied - or in some cases avoided - in the planning and development of new tourist destinations. It is also intended to help promote sustainable development that will allow mountain regions to remain attractive places for tourists seeking relaxation and enjoyment, but above all to remain environments which are treasured and seen as places worth living in by their inhabitants.
