2. What public policies and strategies can be designed to address challenges of congestion management and pressure on natural and cultural resources from tourism?
3. How to foster the dialogue between the tourism and local communities to strengthen effective engagement and coordination?
4. How to address the public perception of tourism as a “bad” sector?
