In essence the framework offers a strategic and integrative instrument towards more sustainable practices. The empirical and participative studies that were developed to support the design of the framework include an analysis of the tourism resources of Lisbon, concerning environmental and socio-cultural resources, and also of an analysis of the environmental performance of tourism activities in Lisbon led by different organizations. This conducted to an attempt to suggest environmental and sustainability benchmarks based on the best performances identified. The success of the actions proposed in the framework will depend on the active and responsible involvement of ali organizations in view of a future sustainable tourism in Lisbon.
