The EDEN (European Destinations of Excellence) Project was launched in 2006 by the European Commission through the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry. The main objectives focus on developing sustainable tourism, promoting unusual or unfamiliar locations instead of standard getaways, reducing seasonality, and redirecting tourist flows towards non-traditional destinations, as well as encouraging networking among project participants.

EDEN Network aims to become one of the most important contributors to the improvement and consolidation of Europe’s image worldwide, as a mix of sustainable and high-quality tourist destinations.
Moreover, the Network seeks to become an increasingly influential and authoritative voice, recognized as such by tour operators, mass-media and tourists around the world.
