Tourism is critically vulnerable to climate change, so why aren’t we moving faster to build resilience in destinations? What the sector needs now are solutions with the power to transform how tourism operates globally: solutions that can be implemented, financed and scaled.
Hosted by the Travel Foundation, this high-impact session puts four investable solutions for tourism’s climate transition under the spotlight. Developed through the Travel Foundation’s Where Next? campaign, each idea is designed to move the sector from ambition to action on climate resilience, equity and adaptation.
Sector leaders will pitch these four bold solutions before the audience is invited to vote on which ideas they would back to be piloted in 2025. The pilots focus on four system-level ambitions:
A Global Climate Risk Register for Destinations
A Tourism Resilience and Justice Fund
Transition Programmes for DMOs and SMEs
Community-led Planning and Accountability Mechanisms #Destinations #Transformation #Responsible Travel #Sustainability #Resilience
