Sustainable and Inclusive Growth
Travel & Tourism growth is outpacing that of the global economy, and while WTTC data shows that the sector’s environmental footprint is being decoupled from its economic growth, we must accelerate this trend to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Paris Climate Agreement and Convention on Biological Diversity. It is essential, that together, we ensure that tourism growth is sustainable & inclusive, contributing positively to the communities, natural ecosystems, and cultural heritage upon which our sector depends.
Social Impact of Travel & Tourism
Travel & Tourism should and can contribute positively to the communities upon which it depends while protecting cultural and natural heritage. In this context, WTTC convenes stakeholders from the public and private sectors, as well as local communities to devise strategies to enable inclusive and sustainable growth.
Our Focus and Initiatives
Our mission is to ensure the long-term sustainable and inclusive growth of Travel & Tourism. WTTC focuses on various topics to enable and advocate public and private collaboration to address current and emerging challenges and opportunities in the sector.
