RFP_Consultancy to develop Preliminary & Data Landscape Study for INSTO

Introduction : UNDP in Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei Darussalam collaborates closely with the Ministry of Finance Malaysia to implement sustainable development solutions. Selected by the Ministry for a pilot project announced in Budget 2022, UNDP aims to establish equitable and sustainable ecotourism, aligning with the 12th Malaysia Plan's goals. The Sustainable Tourism Recovery project focuses on building community and MSME resilience in tourism, with outcomes targeting sustainable tourism environments, business resilience, and improved waste management on islands. This assignment concentrates on two destinations: Mersing, Johor, and another proposed by the service provider. The objective is to develop a Preliminary Data Landscape Study for establishing an International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatory (INSTO) in these destinations. This study will assess data gaps, evaluate the data ecosystem, and produce a toolkit for INSTO implementation, aiming to guide other local

councils toward sustainable tourism practices. The service provider will engage stakeholders, report lessons learned, and offer recommendations for enhancing data ecosystem dynamics and institutional capacities.Please indicate whether you intend to submit a bid by creating a draft response without submitting directly in the system.
