dc.description | The overall objective of SUS-ISLAND is to promote sustainable tourism in Mauritius
by demonstrating and scaling up a self-sustaining mechanism for improving
sustainability impacts along the value chain, and improving awareness and market of
sustainable tourism products.
Leveraging the significant role played by TOs as one of the major economic agents of
mass tourism, SUS-ISLAND intends to position Mauritius as a sustainability beacon
among the Vanilla Islands.
Specifically, SUS-ISLAND will support TOs and their suppliers to develop, promote and
scale up sustainable tourism innovation, which reduces their respective value chain
footprints (negative sustainability impacts, e.g. resource and energy consumption,
pollution etc.), improves handprints (positive sustainability impacts, including green
jobs generation, local community empowerment, sustainability awareness, quality of
life etc.) and improves tourists’ satisfaction. SUS-ISLAND, therefore, contributes to
expanding both the supply and demand of sustainable tourism products. | en_US |
