Ecosystem services and tourism in the URBAN WASTE pilot cities
This report (Deliverable 2.6) deals with the connection of ecosystem services and tourism. Understanding how ecosystem services contribute to touristic experiences fosters engaging in practices related to sustainable tourism. This plays an important role for waste production and management in the 11 pilot cities of the EU H2020 URBAN WASTE project. A first version of this report reviewed relevant literature and summarized results from a survey on tourists’ and tourist staff’s perceptions of ecosystems services in the cities, conducted in URBAN WASTE’s work package 3. In this version, we added a description of selected ecosystem services in the cities, which were identified in consultation with city partners. The final section provides a benchmark of the cities’ state of environment based on various European and global datasets, resulting in city profiles. The results of this report can be used in the later work on strategies (work package 4) and impact assessment (work package 7).
