Five destinations from Bosnia and Herzegovina entered the TOP 100 in the world

At the leading global event “Green Destinations Top 100 Stories” held last week in Tallinn (Estonia), five destinations from Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the framework of the EU4Business Recovery project, co-financed by the European Union and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, entered the Top 100 best destinations working on sustainable tourism development.

In addition to individual destinations from Japan, Peru, Slovenia, Italy, Serbia, Estonia, the United States, Croatia and Portugal, Bosanka Krupa, Konjic, Trebinje, Skakavac Sarajevo Nature Monument, and Šamac have been selected for the “Green Destinations TOP 100 Stories” in the world for the year 2023.

The ninth edition of the event in Tallinn created an inspiring collection of best practice stories of sustainable destinations from around the world. During the award ceremony, it was emphasized that these best practices will be shared with managers, tour operators, and visitors worldwide to facilitate the exchange of knowledge in the tourism sector. Destination management organizations that have entered the Top 100 in the world can serve as examples to others in demonstrating how they have found solutions to the challenges and issues of sustainable tourism.

During the conference, it was emphasized that the tourism sector has faced very challenging times in recent years, and their resilience and hard work are something we should all be proud of. All selected destinations were evaluated according to the criteria of the Green Destinations Standard, such as quality, sustainability, level of innovation in their stories, and best practices.

The Green Destinations Top 100 Stories is an annual competition organized by Green Destinations. The competition is held under the patronage of the Top 100 Partnership, supported by the Future of Tourism Coalition, with special contributions from Green Destinations, ITB Berlin, QualityCoast, Good Tourism Guide, Travelife, Ecotourism Australia, and DEL Turismo, in addition to sponsorship from Acorn Tourism for fee waiver Consulting and Simpleview.
