Seminar Focused on Powering the Journey into Tomorrow's Tourism Industry
For those interested in the transformative potential of sustainable fuels in the Travel & Tourism industry, a 90-minute webinar recording is now available for on-demand viewing. The webinar, hosted by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), delves into the latest innovations and challenges in fuelling a greener future for Travel & Tourism.
The recording covers how different Travel & Tourism industries can engage with sustainable fuels, offering valuable insights into sustainable fuels and their role in Travel & Tourism. A panel of experts discusses sustainable fuels and their importance, providing recommendations on sustainable fuels and opportunities to decarbonize Travel & Tourism.
One key recommendation is for the Travel & Tourism sector to adopt sustainable fuel frameworks, such as the one developed by the WTTC, which guides industry players on integrating sustainable fuels to reduce carbon emissions effectively. Tourism businesses are also encouraged to invest in renewable energy sources like solar or wind power, strengthening brand reputation by appealing to sustainability-conscious consumers.
Collaboration across stakeholders, including industry, communities, and regulators, is another crucial aspect highlighted in the webinar. Good practices in sustainable cruise tourism demonstrate the importance of collaboration to enhance sustainable destination management, minimize environmental impact, and boost social responsibility.
The webinar also emphasizes the need for luxury travel companies, including those providing private aviation, to incorporate sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to significantly lower the carbon footprint of air travel segments. Industry leaders stress the need for investment in greener infrastructure and technology to support growing travel demand while mitigating environmental risks, including expanding sustainable accommodation, promoting destination resilience, and supporting workforce inclusion.
In summary, the travel and tourism sector should focus on adopting sustainable fuel frameworks, investing in renewable energy, engaging in collaborative sustainability efforts, incorporating sustainable aviation fuels, and enhancing green infrastructure to meet decarbonisation targets and foster long-term resilience.
