'More and more agents are concerned about sustainability in tourism'

It tells us people are interested and concerned about a broad range of sustainability issues relating to tourism and this is the something we are reflecting at Abta’s upcoming Delivering Sustainable Travel Conference later this month (15 May).

We know from our work with members that many businesses are working on initiatives around these important issues, and I’m pleased that we’ll get to showcase them at the event later this month.

Now in its fifth year and a staple on the industry events calendar, the Delivering Sustainable Travel Conference offers an agenda that gets to the heart of the issues that are critical for our industry to address as they become high priorities for consumers.

In fact, there is that much going on that it has been a challenge to curate this year’s conference programme, and difficult to narrow down the range of potential topics when discussing sustainable travel. There is easily enough content to fill a three-day event! But we managed to distil it down into one jammed-packed day. 

Attendees will hear two panel discussions, including one on overtourism, where we will explore what the industry can do to address the unique challenges posed.

There will also be a fascinating discussion on human rights and what best-in-class human rights due diligence look like today, and the direction we need to be heading as the travel sector collectively.
