Summary

At the CoPraNet workshop on Sustainable Tourism and Marine Protected Areas(Fuerteventura, Spain: January 31st - February 5th 2005) project participants initiated the development of a transparent international quality label for sustainable tourism destinations. These tourism quality milestones (TQMs) covered the thematic categories of Nature, Carrying Capacity, Water and Environmental Quality and Socio-Economics (see CoPraNet Newsletter No. 3). At the Fuerteventura workshop CoPraNet partners discussed the bene﬿ ts of piloting a subset of the TQMs for relevant local destinations. In meeting this commitment, CMRC staff undertook a piloting exercise in the Cork Harbour region over the months of August and September 2005.
