About the portal

    The Blue Tourism Resource Portal is designed to help tourism decision makers, managers, and operators make their destinations sustainable and resilient. The Portal offers hundreds of the most useful resources including guidelines, toolkits, good practices, case studies and blue tourism networks.

    Finding useful resources

    Resources are grouped by the five pillars of destination sustainability: Culture, Environment, Health, Management, and Socio-Economic. You can search for tools and resources using these five categories, and you can filter your results by type of resource, topic, audience, and language. 

    When you use a tool, please rate it to help other tourism managers find the most helpful resources for their destination. Register or login at the top of the page to rate and review resources and tools.
