Researchers at Hochschule München (HM) worked with the German Tourism Association, reCET and TourCert on nine metrics intended to let tourism regions monitor sustainability in a uniform way.
Why it matters: Tourism regions are the intended users of nine indicators that an HM team developed with partners to monitor sustainability, from climate impact to local quality of life.
According to an announcement, a research team at Hochschule München (HM), Munich University of Applied Sciences, has developed nine key indicators together with the Deutscher Tourismusverband (German Tourism Association), reCET and TourCert.
