Sift Network--UNEP

The SIFT network is an investment network meant to mainstream sustainability into tourism development investments and financing by:

Stimulating the development and sharing of best practices in tourism investments for sustainability by creating an investor-driven network that will work to develop voluntary initiatives to encourage more sustainability in tourism investments.

Matching the demand for sustainable tourism products in developing country destinations with available financial resources. The network is not intended to create a new fund but to facilitate information exchange and coordination between existing funds, donors, investors, and developing country destinations.

Provide network members with practical research, capacity building, and action-oriented publications, as well as organizing workshops and events (such as business opportunity forums, or joint venture workshops) that bring together professionals from around the globe.
