Working Together for Balanced Tourism

13.11.2024


On November 6, 2024, representatives from Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bruges, and Prague came together at the Prague House in Brussels to share ideas and explore opportunities for balanced urban tourism.

Tourism enriches our cities, bringing cultural exchange and economic benefits, but it also presents challenges. Together, we discussed ways to ensure tourism remains a positive force, balancing the needs of residents, local businesses, and visitors while protecting our unique cultural heritage and quality of life.

Key topics included:

Strategies for crowd management

Protecting affordable housing

Supporting diverse local retail

Preserving cultural and world heritage

As we continue these important discussions, we look forward to collaborating, sharing knowledge, and advocating for sustainable tourism policies at the European level. Stay tuned for more updates from this inspiring journey toward redefining tourism for a better future.
