Indicator: Sustainable Tourism

The synthetic composite indicator Tourism and Sustainability is benchmarked across ESPON space, as data availability allows. The composite indicator quantifies the developments in tourism and sustainability in a given NUTS-3 region.
The synthetic indicator is composed of several sub-indicators which are individually picking up characteristics of the overall territorial dimensions in the framework of tourism and sustainability.

Methodology

The synthetic indicator is composed of several sub-indicators which are individually picking up characteristics of the overall territorial dimensions in the framework of tourism and sustainability. The indicator is calculated in the following manner:
Sustainability=1/3*S_(i,t)+1/3*N_(i,t)+1/3*T_(i,t)
In which the variable S_(i,t) represents a normalised approximation for seasonality of the individual region. Analogously, N_(i,t) represents normalised area of NATURA 2000 habitats in a given region i and at time t. The variable T_(i,t) represents the annual value of overnight stays in a given region i at time t. Thus, the indicator captures tourism, as well as its volatility and the general state of the environment.
