To complement the Handbook on Sustainable Tourism Implementation, this toolkit of practical resources aims to assist NTOs with the implementation of sustainable tourism schemes. It is intended to support both those NTOs considering a national certification scheme, and those who are not, to advance national efforts to improve sustainability outcomes.
