At its 4th Conference of the Parties in September 2014, the Parties to the Framework Convention on the Protection and Sustainable Development of the Carpathians (Carpathian Convention) adopted a joint strategy for sustainable tourism development in the mountain region. The project for developing the strategy was supported by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) and coordinated by the environmental association Ecological Tourism in Europe (E.T.E.).

With the support from Germany, the concept for sustainable tourism in the Carpathians was developed by governmental and non-governmental stakeholders in nature conservation and tourism and coordinated among the parties to the Convention. The new strategy aims to support the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine in the development of the Carpathians as a competitive tourism destination in Europe, based on its unique natural and cultural heritage.
