15:30-16:00 Transforming sustainability: shifting the dial in responsible luxury travel 

Why and how are some of the sector’s leading luxury brands and game changers responding to the need to adapt to a sustainable-focused travel landscape? We talk to those who give sustainability a priority in their business, and also check-in on how customers and colleagues should, and can, be guided along on the journey.
