Abstract
This project is based on bringing together principles of ecosystem services (ES), which focus on life
support systems, with more non-material services such as culture, health and wellbeing through
tourism. It aims to link research on wellbeing provided by ecosystems and their use via tourism,
leisure and recreation activities. The underpinning issue of this Action is to produce new and
collaborative research on how and in what way can tourism be a catalyst for improving human
health and wellbeing, by using in a symbiotic and sustainable way natural resources and services
provided by ecosystems, as well as exploring the challenges of (e)valuation of such services. This
will be achieved by creating a collaborative European network of research centres based around
four key working groups, namely (a) theoretical relationships between tourism, wellbeing and ES ;
(b) empirical and methodological research challenges and approaches; (c) interrelations between
ageing, wellbeing and ES; and (d) policy frameworks’ analysis and research-informed policy
making.
