Tourism is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions, it is one of the fastest growing sectors worldwide and it is forecasted to grow by 4% annually. In 2013 the European Commission launched the European Tourism Indicator System for sustainable destination management (ETIS), which forms part of the Europe 2020 Strategy, however only recently have a number of cities introduced sustainability indicators as a tool to evaluate their performance and to inform policy-making. Even so, local bodies or institutions have not meticulously assessed nor shared the results of such actions. Given the limited studies on actual evaluation of projects that have been carried out in tourism small and medium 4 / 15 enterprises (SMEs), this research will make a valuable contribution to knowledge.The case study chosen for this research is the province of Barcelona, where the supra-local government, Diputació de Barcelona (DIBA), recently introduced a "Sustainability Commitment" programme which involves about 500 small tourism firms grouped in 11 clusters based on their geographical location. The overall objective of this study is to investigate local SMEs' engagement with sustainability practices from the point of view of organisational learning and behaviour change as a result of government interventions.

旅游业占全球碳排放量的8%，是全球增长最快的行业之一，预计每年将增长4%。2013年，欧盟委员会启动了欧洲旅游业可持续目的地管理指标体系（ETIS），该体系是欧洲2020战略的一部分，但直到最近，一些城市才引入可持续性指标，作为评估其绩效和为决策提供信息的工具。即便如此，地方机关或机构并没有认真评估或分享这些行动的结果。鉴于对旅游业中小型4 / 15企业（SME）进行的项目实际评估的研究有限，本研究将为知识做出宝贵的贡献。本研究选择的案例研究是巴塞罗那省市镇，那里的超地方政府Diputació de Barcelona（迪巴），最近推出了一项“可持续性承诺”方案，涉及约500家小型旅游公司，根据其地理位置分为11个集群。本研究的总体目标是调查当地中小企业的参与与可持续发展的做法，从组织学习和行为变化的角度来看，由于政府的干预。
