Call for tenders to develop an online monitoring platform for the DestiMED project
In the framework of the DestiMED project, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播-Med is launching a call for tenders for the development of an online monitoring platform and resource center for the use of Protected Areas and tourism service providers that will enable the territory and the project partners to collect data, evaluate key sustainability and quality indicators of tourism-related services, and track progress over time.
DestiMED is an project led by Regione Lazio which aims to build the pre-conditions for a Mediterranean destination management organisation听(DMO). Specifically, the project aims to further develop and test ecotourism packages, standards, and monitoring tools in 13 protected areas around the basin, while bringing together stakeholders in a network for ongoing collaboration. DestiMED builds on the results of the (Mediterranean Experience of Eco-Tourism), which created and tested planning and marketing approaches and built the foundation of this network.
One of DestiMED鈥檚 primary objectives is to apply a Life Cycle Assessment approach to tourism products in Protected Areas, utilizing a practical instrument (Ecological Footprint) designed to assess and link the quality and sustainability performance improvement of service providers. With this goal in mind, a consultant is needed to develop an online monitoring platform and resource center for Local Economic Clusters (LECs), consisting of Protected Areas and tourism service providers, especially inbound tour operators. The online platform will enable the LEC and the project partners to collect data, evaluate key sustainability and quality indicators of tourism-related services, and track progress over time. This online platform must also be able to collect and compile survey responses from travelers at the end of their stay, ideally through an online questionnaire.
Furthermore the consultant will have an opportunity to review and provide feedback on the specific indicators and guidelines for environmental, socio-cultural and economic aspects of ecotourism packages established during the project.
