This document contains the Cairngorms Sustainable Tourism Action Plan for 2023-2028, which functions as the overarching Sustainable Tourism Strategy within the National Park Partnership Plan 2022-2027. The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) and the Cairngorms Business Partnership have signed the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action on Tourism. The plan is structured into three sections: Nature, People, and Place, outlining desired outcomes by 2045, aligned with the Scottish Government's net-zero target. It addresses the climate and biodiversity crisis, as well as issues arising from increased visitor numbers, and is coordinated by the Cairngorms Tourism Partnership. It seeks to ensure that tourism benefits the local economy while preserving the area's natural environment, and aims to engage businesses, visitors, and residents in sustainable practices.
