Framework
This Combination forms the basis of PM4SD®
PRINCE2® is a registered trademark of AXELOS Limited
PM4SD™is a Certified Project Management methodology, based on
PRINCE2®, developed to design and implement tourism projects with sustainability in order to create long term benefits for destinations and local communities.
PM4SD™ is based on PRINCE2®,
a structured method for effective
project management.
PM4SD™ has innovated and adapted PRINCE2® to the tourism sector, combining management aspects with sustainable tourism criteria and principles.
• PM4SD™ applies whenever an organisation, whatever public or private, needs to plan and manage a sustainable tourism initiative.
• It provides a guarantee for public authorities that the project will be transformed into concrete actions with clearly defined roles and responsibilities and that these actions will have a real impact on local communities.
• It helps governments and companies to plan transparently and not to forget that every action must have corresponding benefits. It is a practice to be adopted for participatory, transparent and effective management.
