Tourism is already feeling the impacts of climate change. Cutting emissions is vital, but it’s not enough on its own. We need to rethink tourism so it’s fairer, more resilient, and better for the communities who depend on it.
That’s what our Where next? campaign is all about and we want your input. At the heart of the campaign is a global consultation to shape four Big Ideas for system-wide change. Find out more and have your say.
Destination resilience training and support in destinations with the aim of supporting a thriving future for tourism.
We support Destination Management Organisations to answer some of the big questions about how tourism can best deliver both quality experiences for visitors and quality of life for residents, enabling them to create stronger, sustainable plans.
