J<\/span>\u00e4rvs\u00f6 has engaged EarthCheck the Australian tourism benchmarking and certification group to help guide the project. It aims to realise its goal of achieving the highest benchmark for sustainable tourism in Scandinavia.<\/p>\n

The EarthCheck Sustainable Destinations program will provide J\u00e4rvs\u00f6 with a scientific framework to benchmark, certify and continuously improve their environmental, cultural, social and economic performance. The Global Sustainability Tourism Council\u2019s criteria for destinations will be used as a policy and planning guide.<\/p>\n

G\u00e4vleborg County Governor, Per Bill said the strategic approach will help J\u00e4rvs\u00f6 achieve a range of economic and sustainable benefits for tourism, local communities, the environment and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cJ\u00e4rvs\u00f6, as a responsible tourist destination, will be a perfect fit for our sustainable projects throughout G\u00e4vleborg,\u201d Mr Bill says.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, this is a positive step for us to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\u201d.<\/p>\n

Roland Hamlin the project coordinator at Ljusdals municipality notes that J\u00e4rvs\u00f6 has a strong vision and long-term commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism development.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecoming Sweden\u2019s first EarthCheck Certified Destination will add value to the way in which we market J\u00e4rvs\u00f6 as a lifestyle destination to visit, work, live and bring up children,\u201d Mr Hamlin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with EarthCheck will help us to monitor and improve sustainability and promote our achievements, as well as learning more from the best in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

EarthCheck Founder and CEO Stewart Moore noted that places where people want to visit and live – and that are sustainable – do not happen by chance: they are a product of visionary thinking and commitment by industry and community leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAchieving sustainable tourism requires collaboration, determination and systematic planning across the destination,\u201d Mr Moore says.<\/p>\n

\u201cJ\u00e4rvs\u00f6 will join a select group of leading destinations across the world that are taking a holistic and strategic approach to destination management, planning and marketing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on the fundamental belief that \u2018what gets measured, gets managed\u2019 is at the core of EarthCheck\u2019s Sustainable Destinations Program which is built on performance based measurement. The EarthCheck program helps destinations to measure and monitor their environmental economic and social impact, and prepare and track that performance against their own targets and the performance of other destinations.<\/p>\n

In recent years, J\u00e4rvs\u00f6 has made positive strides in sustainability including the development of a heritage tourism framework, train and bicycle travel network and a training platform for local operators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
