Making the best use of life-long learning, knowledge networking and ICT

The use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) has become critical to the day-to-day operation of the sector. ICT security and development is essential to the sustainability of the sector, yet appears fragile in times of natural or human crises.
Global investment in ICT infrastructure, especially for developing countries and rural areas, is a prerequisite of modern sustainable development. This infrastructure should provide an equitable technological platform for knowledge networking between global tourism stakeholders, especially with the poorest tourism stakeholders and Millennium Goals in mind.
The implementation of a global green economy is intimately tied to the creation of the global knowledge economy. In order to realise all of the above policies and programmes, all tourism stakeholders should have ICT access to life-long learning processes that continuously improve their personal education and skills, with particular reference to knowledge about green consumption and production. NTOs and NTAs should invest in retraining and reorienting staff.
A networking tool for sustainable development knowledge has been made available via The European Environment Agency‟s DestiNet Sustainable Tourism Information and Communications Portal, which further offers tourism stakeholders a global, quality- assessed green market place that can map the development of the global green economy.
