Abstract

The European Destinations of ExcelleNce (EDEN) initiative provides the opportunity to enhance the visibility and recognition of emerging European tourist destinations, to create a platform for exchanging good practices at European level and to promote a network between award-winning destinations that could lead other destinations to adopt the model for sustainable development of tourism.

The EDEN project is an excellent option for destinations that do not have the necessary financial funds but want to develop tourism. It provides a chance for every tourist product to be advertised free of charge in the other EU Member States.
