Founding Partners are the first destinations and networks to adopt the audit tool, offer feedback, and lead by example. In return, they receive exclusive life-time pricing, public recognition, and a direct role in shaping the next wave of cultural sustainability tools.

About:

Built around seven key domains and aligned with global standards, it turns reflection into clear, actionable steps.

✳️Organized Across 7 Key Domains

Who Is This For?

DMOs, tourism networks, associations, and mission-aligned partners who are ready to take action in sustaining the local culture of the communities they work in while advancing their own strategic goals.

How Does It Work?

Partners share the audit link with their tourism stakeholders, inviting them to complete it independently and use the results to reflect, plan, and improve their cultural sustainability practices. Results across networks can be analyzed to identify gaps, patterns, and opportunities—providing a clear foundation for region-wide strategies to strengthen cultural sustainability.

What Does It Cost?

Founding Partners receive exclusive custom rates along with lifetime access to the audit tool and all future updates.
