What is ecosert?
European CO-operation to achieve Sustainable Regional development through Tourism was a three year 2.5 million euro trans-national project. It formed part of the Recite II programme which aimed to develop inter-regional co-operation through the establishment of local networks in each of the partner regions to achieve shared objectives.

Three European regions worked together to develop action plans involving everyone affected by tourism in their rural areas - they were Magnesia in Greece, Provincia di Avellino in Italy and the Dee Estuary Partnership in the UK.

In each of these areas, those involved in the project included:

Local residents
Visitors
Local services
Attractions and accommodation
Transport operators
Food producers
Environmental groups
Land owners

Each area developed a number of pilot projects to test different aspects of encouraging sustainable rural tourism. The sustainability of the projects will be ensured by the application of Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).
