Times they are a changin': Is your business keeping up?

Intended workshop audience: Anyone with an interest in sustainability - whether you are completely new to this space, or whether you're an advanced ecotourism operator seeking to better understand the new climate reporting reforms.

We’re entering an era where sustainability is no longer a ‘niche choice’ – but the new norm. With consumer demand changing, global regulation around ESG commitments tightening, and the climate crisis worsening, what are you doing to ensure your business can thrive in the new reality?

In this session, Lauren will break down in simple terms what these changes might mean for your tourism business, and guide you through what to do next.
