Best Practices for fostering social inclusion: strengthening communities through participative empowerment and promoting inclusive opportunities

Tourism and hospitality industries have been historically associated with driving local development and growth in European destinations, from the development of a diverse range of tourism activities in destinations such as commerce, tours, food and family-owned accommodation, to large-scale hotels and cruise ship employment. However, tourism development and its impact on local communities has been a topic of relevant debate in recent years.
