Sustainable practices in Tourism have proved notable functionality all over the globe.

The Mediterranean region, one of the most leading tourist destinations, is being hindered at the moment by onerous factors such as the political situation of the region and the COVID-19 pandemic.

In favour of giving a reviving boost for the Adventure Tourism sector in the Mediterranean, MEDUSA project commissioned AGEG Tourism for Sustainability to inspire tourism destination´s stakeholders in the adoption of sustainable practices and to get inspired by innovative sustainable practices.

The study includes diverse strategies related to the Adventure Tourism, and divide benefits to different sectors throughout disparate activities and experiences (Water experience, Cultural experience, Spiritual experiences, Leisure experiences etc…). These processes could also be seen as an option to achieve the recovery of the sector economically while embodying tendencies towards regional equalities and balanced distribution of income and strain on the territory and population by creating more business opportunities and new jobs for the local communities.
