Collaboration event | Solving the sustainable travel puzzle
The travel & Tourism industry has developed very fast in the last decades, taking communities out of poverty, showcasing remote or less known cultures and even becoming an important part of GDP in several countries.
Moreover, travel became a desired lifestyle and created a whole new hobby category for people across the globe.
And what about the Social side? Despite many gains, tourism also creates losses, leading to "modern" slavery or disturbing the real estate market.
So if we add plastic pollution, garbage & waste management in tourism, local economy and communities, we face many environmental challenges.
There is no other industry so prominently two-faced as this one, where both too much or too little can create imbalances across the globe. So How can we apply environment and social filters to this otherwise enriching and mind-opening life experience: traveling?
The next Züri Walk & Talk edition invites you to solve the classical sustainability puzzle: how can we do what we like while doing what is right? This time with a focus on tourism and travel.
In other words: HOW can we preserve the environment while keeping the machine working?
We will go through the different dimensions of the topic with various speakers to collect and discuss more points of view.
You will meet
- The sustainable travel entrepreneur – to speak about how entrepreneurial spirit can bring innovation and frugality
- The Research & Academia – to introduce how research and data can help transition to more sustainable tourism
- The Tourism Destination – to see how things are happening from the perspective of policy, strategy and community benefits - South Tyrol, http://www.idm-suedtirol.com/
- The Hotel or Location – to see how we can start the transformation from the very cell of tourism
Our guests will be confirmed soon!
Looking forward to meeting you,
The Züri Walk & Talk team
