The following updated framework for the operation and management of UN Tourism International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO) was presented to UN Tourism Executive Council at its 104th session in Luxor, Egypt in November 2016.

The following sections outline the different generic elements of importance within the INSTO framework that member observatories are following.

Participatory approaches are fundamental for successful sustainability initiatives which are continuously strengthened during all phases of development. When establishing an observatory, destinations are asked to put special emphasis on 3 key elements:

  • Time: a broad system of facilitators is especially important in the beginning of the initiative

Another vital element for INSTO observatories is the regular stakeholders’ workshops that strengthen the participatory approach even further. Depending on the structures of the new members (if it is an already existing observatory or an entirely new one), the content of the very first annual stakeholder workshop may vary.

Why are annual workshops important?

  • Reflect and agree on the mandatory and optional issue areas
  • Discuss the findings of the preliminary study/report 
  • Identify the most important data needs, gaps and sources
  • Discuss and make a roadmap for creating and agreeing on specific indicators
  • Clearly define the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders and the frequency of stakeholders meetings
  • Agree on the implementation plan for the observatory

INSTO members are committed to

  • Measuring in a regular and timely manner
  • Supporting sustainable tourism development and beyond
  • Following a participatory and transparent approach that reflects the destination’s priorities and needs
  • Contributing to official INSTO events by sharing experiences, methodologies, new trends
  • Better understanding the links of tourism with other sectors and the impacts on sustainable development
  • Establishing measurement efforts in all nine issue areas within the first three years (at least to some extend)
  • Empowering stakeholders to effectively prioritize efforts and allocate resources
