EDEN, the European Destinations
of Excellence, is an initiative to
promote sustainable tourism across
the EU by highlighting spectacular
emerging sites and cultural attractions
off the beaten tourist track.
Each year the European Commission
selects a different theme for the
awards, from ‘rural tourism’ and
‘intangible heritage’ to ‘protected
areas’. The awards go to the most
distinctive towns, parks and regions
with a commitment to social, cultural
and environmental sustainability.
Since launching in 2006, EDEN has
introduced 98 stunning destinations
across 26 European countries to a wider
tourist market. As well as ‘decongesting’
the much-hyped tourismmainstays,
EDEN provides greater exposure
for unique and sustainable holiday
experiences in the EU.
