🌎 How can the Travel & Tourism sector play its part in halting and reversing #NatureLoss by 2030? 🌱 The Travel & Tourism sector is intrinsically linked to #Nature, with more than 80% of the value of its goods and services dependent on nature’s resources and ecosystem. Similarly, conservation efforts, protected areas and local economies are fueled by Travel & Tourism revenue and the presence of visitors. This emphasizes the central role that the sector can play in the transition to a #NaturePositive future. To support this transition, sector-specific guidance outlines the priority actions businesses should take now to ensure the Travel & Tourism sector plays its part in halting and reversing nature loss by 2030. This guidance has been led by Animondial, with endorsement from World Travel & Tourism Council, the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and UNWTO. 🔗 Read the guidance: https://bit.ly/45F0kJb

Why are you clearly marketing the position as nature positive World Tourism Organisation? Nature positive travel badging Organisations aligning under this position. It’s going to be green washing with legal changes coming. There seems to be a disconnect between sustainability silos. Commercial and marketing silos. Policy and results. Outcomes. The Sustainable Business silo needs to see this integrated. TLC Harmony noted. These reports are great and congratulations for getting together to write it. As a little aside, under the European greenwashing legislation can we still say Nature Positive in our strapline or labelling unless it has been evidenced clearly by quantitative science based data? The UK crackdown on greenwashing where fines of up to 10% of global turnover is also a warning about swinging about terms like nature positive, carbon neutral or eco-friendly. #world tourism organisation “Sustainability “Sustainable Tourism

🌍 It’s a busy week in the travel and tourism industry and GSIQ Tourism Insights is right in the heart of the action! Yesterday, Eva attended #STRZSummit, and today, Eva Satkute Stewart and Oliver Rowe at the World Travel Market London, one of the most influential three days in the global travel calendar. Our upcoming 'The Tourism Conversation 2024' report shows how 'overtourism' is cutting through into the pysche of the mass traveller, with online media data showing how use of the term has shot up threefold when comparing this summer to last. This particular element of sustainable tourism will be high on the agenda at WTM this week, with destinations keen to ensure plans they are putting into place can head off potential community dissatisfaction. If you’d like to discuss these findings with us at WTM or afterwards, do reach out, or register your details here to receive your copy when the report is published. #TourismInsights #WTM2024 #Overtourism #GlobalConnections #Traveltrends

Sustainable Tourism: A new era of refined travel Sustainable tourism has evolved from a passing trend to a fundamental expectation for both travelers and the brands aiming to engage them. Increasingly, today’s discerning travelers seek experiences that honor local cultures, preserve natural environments, and contribute positively to the communities they visit. From hotels adopting eco-conscious construction practices to DMCs curating itineraries centered on sustainability, it is clear that integrating responsible practices not only enhances the traveler’s experience but also ensures the long-term vitality of the destinations. In an era where refined travel is synonymous with responsibility, it is imperative that we prioritize sustainability in every aspect of the journey. At Marketing Collection, we are proud to collaborate with partners who share this commitment to responsible travel. The future of travel is one that balances exclusivity with environmental and social stewardship. How are you integrating sustainability into your offerings? 🌍💚 #MarketingCollection #SustainableTourism #RefinedTravel #UniqueExperiences

Deep Travel Equals Quality Tourism While mass tourism strains popular destinations, a new breed of traveller is emerging: the deep traveller. These travellers are typically more mindful of their impact, willing to spend more, and often return as repeat visitors. They are invested in the local community, supporting local businesses and contributing to the destination's economy in a more sustainable way. By cultivating a reputation for offering authentic and transformative experiences, destinations can position themselves deep travel friendly. It's time to shift from quantity to quality. What destination do you think is suited for this type of traveller? #deeptravel #responsibletourism #traveltrends #destinationmarketing #travelindustry #travel #sustainabletourism 📸 Barcelona - in need of a tourism reset
