On 24 October from 14:00 to 15:30 PM, the Policy Learning Platform is hosting an interactive webinar on eco-tourism in riverside territories. Interregional exchange on the topic of sustainable tourism started last year during a workshop in Bucharest and workshop in Berlin.

During this interactive webinar you will have the opportunity to discuss challenges and solutions related to eco-tourism development in riverside areas, approaches to assessing the carrying capacity of riverside ecosystem and specific products/services that can be useful in addressing seasonality in water tourism.
