Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in the Pacific (STEP)
The STEP Regional Roadmap presents a coordinated strategy to embed circular economy and sustainable consumption and production principles across the tourism sector in Pacific Island Countries. Developed through the Sustainable Tourism Enhancement in the Pacific (STEP) project under the EU SWITCH-Asia Pacific Policy Support Component, the Roadmap is the product of extensive consultation, technical research, and regional consensus-building. It sets out a clear ambition: to embed circular economy practices within the Pacific tourism sector by breaking down persistent barriers, aligning efforts across the region, piloting successful national models, and attracting investment to scale proven solutions.
