Sustainable Tourism and CSTT

Tourism is a large and fast growing sector. Therefore the contribution to the world economy increases at a fast pace, but at the same time the impact on the environment and undesirable social impacts are growing even faster. One of the main problems hampering sustainable devlopment of tourism is its contribution to climate change. Therefore the CSTT has a strong focus on emissions of greenhouse gasses and how to avoid these. The NHTV Centre for Sustainable Tourism and Transport - CSTT – researches, disseminates and educates sustainable development of tourism and transport. 

The main themes of CSTT are:
- Climate Change and Tourism
- Corporate Social Responsibility with a focus on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions
- Low carbon emissions product development (including destination development)
- Sustainable transport solutions
- Models and methods
