Call for case studies on sustainable tourism in mountains

10.05.2021

In light of the 2021 International Mountain Day theme, “Sustainable Mountain Tourism,” the Mountain Partnership Secretariat (MPS) and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) are joining forces to produce a publication on mountain tourism as a driver of sustainable development, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The MPS and UNWTO are collecting proposals for case studies on sustainable tourism destinations and/or business in mountain areas, with a focus on the following broad themes:

  • Policies for sustainable mountain tourism
  • Digitalization and innovation
  • Promoting sustainable mountain tourism in traditional and emerging segments


See here the detailed call for case studies along with the case study format guidelines.

To propose one or more case studies, please provide the following information to [email protected] by 17 May:

  • A brief introduction summarizing the contents of the case study (maximum one page);
  • The country (or countries) to which the case study refers; and
  • With reference to the list above, the topic(s) to which the case study refers.


Following this first call for case study proposals, the MPS and UNWTO will make a selection, taking into account geographical distribution, themes, implementing and funding organizations and relevance to the scope of the publication.

If your case study is chosen, you will be contacted in the second half of May 2021 with further details. At that time, you will be asked to provide a 1 000-word case study and five high-quality images by 15 June. Everyone who contributes a case study will be acknowledged in the publication.

For questions and more information, please contact [email protected].
