Vevčani Green is a community-driven initiative in the village of Vevčani, North Macedonia, that exemplifies sustainable tourism and green economy development. Officially launched in 2022 and recognized as the country’s first Green Destination, the initiative integrates cultural preservation, environmental stewardship, and local entrepreneurship to create resilient, inclusive tourism.
