Small- and medium-sized enterprises will receive particular attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8.05pt; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: #0c110f;\">The third component of the program aims to reduce the environmental footprint of tourism-linked supply chains by working with government, industry associations, tourism facilities, and suppliers to create guidelines and financial incentives for sustainable and green procurement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8.05pt; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: #0c110f;\">The aim is to encourage the companies that supply tourism essentials \u2013 from food and beverages to plastics, textiles and furnishings, building materials, and electronics \u2013 to make the shift to renewable energy, create climate-resilient infrastructure, and source products locally and responsibly. Work in this area will promote steps that reduce carbon emissions, harmful chemicals, waste and pollution, and reverse biodiversity loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8.05pt; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: #0c110f;\">And since the sharing of both successes and challenges is a powerful way to inspire wider change, iCOAST will establish national and global knowledge management platforms. These will promote fruitful partnerships, encourage information-sharing, and, ultimately, make it possible to duplicate effective measures elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8.05pt; background: white; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: #0c110f;\">Unchecked, tourism can place a heavy burden on natural spaces, generating waste and pollution, harming habitats, pushing up greenhouse gas emissions, and depleting natural resources, products, and materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8.05pt; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: #0c110f;\">Tourism\u2019s economic importance cannot be understated. The industry accounts for more than 10 percent of the world\u2019s gross domestic product and, in 2019, generated more than one in 10 of all jobs. More than half of tourism jobs are held by women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8.05pt; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: #0c110f;\">Some 30 percent of the GDP of Small Island Developing States depends on visitors who want to relax on their coasts and swim in their oceans. But unless nature is factored into planning, tourism risks damaging the very landscapes that are most attractive to tourists. This is why the health of nature is essential for the health of the sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: #0c110f; background: white;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egypt is among 14 countries benefiting from the Integrated Collaborative Approaches to Sustainable Tourism program (iCOAST) \u2013 funded by the Global Environment Fund (GEF) &#8211; with aim to ease the pressure on nature by promoting the adoption of sustainable tourism practices in 14 countries whose coastal communities attract multitudes of visitors each year.
