One of the more unique projects the Carbonzero (Canada) consulting team took on this year was our work with Terre Boréale, where we developed a custom carbon footprint tracking tool for the company. Terre Boréale, which has been providing its customers with once in a lifetime guided journeys in Northern Canada since 2013, was focused on being able to accurately measure the carbon footprint of its operations, as well as the individual trips that it offers to customers.

The Biosphere Partnership actively and successfully promotes sustainable tourism. It believes a National Park in Galloway, South and East Ayrshire has much to offer. This is what they say: “For more than 12 years we have been working in support of sustainable, community-led tourism, collaborating with communities, local development trusts, destination marketing organisations and others to put the southwest on the global map, including through award-winning campaigns such as Scotland’s UNESCO Trail. “A Galloway National Park would bring additional resources and recognition offering the opportunity to further this work to embed responsible, nature-friendly tourism in the visitor economy and ensuring communities benefit directly from the opportunities it brings.” See the Biosphere website here: https://lnkd.in/eag4gf4K Fill in the NatureScot online consultation now https://lnkd.in/eVg5uXfT Access the Galloway National Park Information Hub here https://lnkd.in/eubJcbrX #greatforgallloway #gallowaynationalpark #sustainabletourism

Although it's been many months away from LinkedIn, I'm excited to share my first seminar presentation ever in school. I recently had the privilege of presenting on the topic: "Overtourism and the quest for balancing patronage in ecotourism sites:Strategies for a balanced ecotourism " on this topic, I explored, 📌 The challenge of overtourism on natural environments. 📌 The difference between overtourism and mass tourism. 📌 Strategies for sustainable tourism development that balance visitor satisfaction and ecotourism business. 📌 I recommended actions to promote ecotourism. This experience did not only deepen my understanding for a sustainable tourism but also opened my mind to the roles the tourist and local communities have to play to conserve our ecosystem. A big thank you to my supervisor Dr kukoyi for his guidance in my seminar topic choice and support with the research work. I am eager to continue the conservation and hear your thoughts. How do you think we can better manage overtourism while balancing patronage in ecotourism sites? #overtourism #ecotourism #sustainabletourism #seminarpresentation #hospitalitybusinesses.
