‘Tourism: Building Back Better’ is part of the Global Perspectives Speaker Series, an initiative of the Whistler Institute, located in Whistler, BC, Canada.
These are questions posed in a recent New York Times article that asks if the future of travel has moved beyond sustainability and eco-tourism and suggests that “the new frontier is ‘regenerative travel,’ or leaving a place better than you found it.”
As the world recovers from the global pandemic, there will be a renewed freedom to travel and a need for economic recovery – both in the tourism industry and within local communities. Now is the time to address the challenges and risks ahead so that the future of travel is better for the earth and for its people.
