A Living Lab for the Future of Tourism 7- 10 september 2026
From policy plans to real change: that’s what the European Sustainable Tourism Strategy stands for. The ambition? Tourism that contributes to broad prosperity, climate goals, and livable destinations. But that can only happen if we learn from each other, share experiences, and collaborate across borders.
That’s why we’re organizing the WadNext Conference in September 2026.
The conference where you’ll meet policymakers, destinations, and researchers from all over Europe, not in an anonymous conference hall, but in a place where both the challenges and the solutions are tangible: the UNESCO Wadden Sea Region.
Main themes:
- European Sustainable Tourism Strategy: from vision to practice
- Regenerative tourism and the positive impact of visitors
- Local value chains and meaningful employment
- Smart mobility and reducing the travel chain footprint
What to expect:
An active 3-day experience combining inspiration, exchange, and discovery, not just presentations, but on-site explorations and encounters with local changemakers.
Be part of shaping the future of sustainable tourism in Europe.
