By their broad overview of the sector’s challenges and developed responses, this group of actors forms a restricted perimeter of stakeholders that will be consulted throughout the project’s life. Two sessions were conducted :  

May 26th : presentation of the project

• Presentation of the objectives, partners and calendar of the projects. 
• Discussions of the three main dimensions of the project (mobility, digital connexion and cultural immersion in territories)
• Collective definition of the criterias to consider for the good practices’ identification

Between thw two meetings collection and treatment of the information shared by partners complemented by APESA’s own research was done.

June 16th : presentation of the GP’s and discussions

• Feedbacks on the practices identified by the regional stakeholders
• Validation of a first selection of best practices 

This first selection issued from the regional view on the topic of sustainable tourism will be completed by further practices that are yet to be identified at the public level.
