Cool ideas from around the world for positive impact tourism in businesses and regions

Intended workshop audience: Suitable for tourism operators, destination managers, and tourism professionals interested in visitor experience, community engagement, sustainable tourism, and destination development.

Workshop Description: We know that visitors increasingly want to participate in transformational experiences where they create value for the people and places they visit. Through our work with destinations around the world, we have come across some great ideas for tourism operators and destination managers to create more value from tourism than just the usual spend. Partnering with community and environmental programs, buying local and storytelling are just the start - in this session, we will share some cool ideas, invite other ideas and workshop how we can build them into businesses and destination management.
