Unit 2 – European framework: Green Deal, Tourism Transition Pathway, EU directives & ESG
Objective
Understand how EU strategic frameworks shape sustainability in tourism and how ESG supports compliance and competitiveness.
Skills Developed
Across this module, learners develop a solid understanding of the multi-level regulatory ecosystem shaping sustainable tourism—from global SDGs and UNWTO guidance to the EU Green Deal and Tourism Transition Pathway, and down to national/regional strategies. They learn to interpret policies, understand their intent, and identify how they influence tourism practices and decision-making. They also gain the ability to align actions with SDGs, policy priorities and ESG principles through guided, auto-validated exercises. Additionally, learners become familiar with voluntary sustainability systems (GSTC, ETIS, ECST) and recognise their role in improving coherence, monitoring and continuous improvement. The module strengthens policy-oriented thinking, governance awareness and the capacity to frame tourism issues within broader strategic and regulatory references—competencies that support more effective planning, compliance and collaboration across tourism stakeholders
