Tourism Destination Resilience Programme

GSTC Webinar: PATA Tourism Destination Resilience Programme

Description

As part of the Crisis Resource Center, PATA’s Tourism Destination Resilience (TDR) programme enables destinations to withstand adversity and bounce forward from crises and disasters. Tourism Destination Resilience is essential for sustainability. Without resilience, years of progress in regenerating an ecosystem or eliminating poverty could be lost in one disaster. This is why we advocate that for a tourism destination to be sustainable, it must first be resilient.

Presenter: Graham Harper, Advisor, Sustainability and Social Responsibility, Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA)
