An industry perspective
In the video, Jane Ashton, Director of Sustainability at TUI Group gives her perspective on the impacts the tourism industy can and does have around the world.
She also talks about how those impacts are being mitigated through initiatives like ‘Travelife’ but is it enough?
This week we have reviewed both the negative and positive impacts of tourism but do the impacts balance out and is that sufficient, or should we be aiming to mitigate all the negatives of tourism?
What do you think the solution is?
