Green tourism gains massive mainstream momentum

New report reveals sustainable tourism is now gaining massive momentum with airlines, tour operators, trains, destinations and travelers.

Using case studies, statistics, interviews and news reports – the latest Sustainable Tourism Report clearly illustrates the advances that sustainable tourism has made during the year and the latest methods that are effectively being applied by all major players  in the industry.

The report details just how we have got to this take-off point in the 22 years since the movement began, where we are now and what the future holds.

It reveals how and why airlines are reducing their environmental footprints; integrating sustainable development into their products and services, promoting responsible human resources policies and contributing to their arrival destinations.

It reveals how the train industry (now a a 609bn passenger kilometer industry) is dramatically growing and greening – with high speed train lines alone scheduled to be expanding from just 22,196km today to over 50,000km in just 11 years time.  With recently opened lines from Paris to Barcelona and Moscow to Leningrad.

It reveals how global tour operators and OTAs including TUI, Thomas Cook and Kuoni are embracing dramatic changes with many aspects of sustainable tourism involving green supply chain management, child protection, human rights and labour conditions and with environmental management to the fore.

It reveals how the cruise industry is finally coming to the party, dealing with waste management, and destinations amongst much more – and publishes the latest sustainable cruise report card rating key cruise players.

Above all, it reveals how destinations all over the world are making tremendous advances in creating car-free and soft-mobility destinations; potent local food initiatives, creating dynamic, sustainable, fun, profitable city centres; setting up innovative marketing partnerships and funding schemes. And curating their tourism products effectively, sustainably, profitably.
