Pr. nr.:2022-1-SE01-KA220-VET-000089744 We work with Place Development not Destination Development • Organize workshops inviting officials from various departments to establish a common understanding of sustainability in tourism and explore collaborative strategies. • The primary methodology we used is back casting - a planning method that starts by defining a desirable future and then works backward to identify policies and programs that will link the specified future to the present. The back casting process occurred through our three workshops. Workshop 1 • Participants outlined features for Falköping County as a sustainable destination, covering ecological, social, and economic factors. We talked about how goals are connected and what to focus on in the future. Place development focuses on a place's unique qualities (community, environment) and its limitations, not just tourist desires. This guides responsible tourism development. Collaboration across municipal borders, even with non-traditional tourism stakeholders, is the cornerstone of our success. This is how we did it.
