Sustainability within the context of tourism policy
Georgios Drakopoulos
Special Adviser to the Secretary General, UNWTO
Counselor, European Economic & Social Committee
The netherlands presentation
International tourism is a major global industry worth over $1 trillion annually. Tourism makes up 6% of global exports and is one of the largest industries in many countries. Europeans are increasingly concerned with sustainability and many destinations and companies are adopting more eco-friendly practices. Surveys show Europeans prefer conventional destinations in their own country or other top European countries like Spain, France, and Italy. Most travel during the summer, though some choose off-peak seasons. Sustainability is becoming an important factor for both consumers and businesses in the tourism industry.
UNWTO- WORLD TRAVEL ORGANIZATION ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Among the 17 SDGs and 169 associated targets, tourism
is explicitly featured in Goals in this annual report for its capacity to foster economic growth and decent work for all,
promote sustainable consumption and production, and
advance conservation and sustainable development of
aquatic resources. Yet, the sector’s cross-cutting nature
and impact positions it to contribute strongly to attain all
of the Goals. At the highest political level, tourism has
been recognised for its critical contribution to sustainable
development. We have thus a large responsibility to ensure
that this potential is realized and that the continued growth
of the sector benefits people and planet.

The UNWTO, ONCE Foundation, and ENAT signed a cooperation agreement to promote accessible tourism for all persons with disabilities. The agreement aims to raise awareness, provide technical support and training, and fund pilot projects involving new technologies to facilitate tourism participation for persons with disabilities. Over 600 million people worldwide have disabilities, so ensuring equal access to travel is important for responsible and sustainable tourism. The agreement builds on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and a previous UNWTO resolution on accessible tourism adopted in 2005.

This document discusses tourism in Antarctica and its potential impacts. It notes that while cruise ships have signed guidelines to limit environmental impacts, such as limiting visitor numbers and maintaining distances from wildlife, land-based tourism could pose more significant risks. Specifically, activities like snowboarding risk damaging the fragile ecosystem. The growing size of cruise ships and potential for oil spills from accidents also threaten the environment. The future of Antarctica depends on balancing further tourism development with strong protections to preserve its last untouched wilderness.

There is wide agreement that more walking and public engagement in outdoor activities can make a contribution to personal well-being, health and collective sustainability. But how do we go about promoting the benefits of walking and 'the great outdoors' in a culture where it is ever easier to be sedentary and disconnected from the natural environment? Our seminar speaker Jim Walker of the Outdoor Trust charity draws on a wealth of experience as a ranger, trail designer and urban well-being consultant in discussing these challenges for sustainable lifestyle change. Jim will look at methods for engaging citizens in outdoor activities and how these can contribute to wider behavioural change.World2016
The document summarizes the key findings of the World Travel & Tourism Council's (WTTC) 2016 research on the economic impact of global travel and tourism:
1) In 2015, travel and tourism directly contributed $2,229.8 billion (3.0% of GDP) to the global economy and supported 107.8 million jobs (3.6% of total employment).
2) The total contribution of travel and tourism to the global economy, including indirect and induced impacts, was $7,170.3 billion (9.8% of GDP) in 2015 and 283.6 million jobs (9.5% of total employment).

Towards a bottom-up methodology for investigating the branding of Greece on t...
In the realm of travel and tourism industry, destination branding has considerably grown in importance over the years. Synonymous with Competitive Identity, it represents the core essence and enduring characteristics which comprise a country’s personality and make it distinctive and different from all its competitors. A destination brand evolves in time to meet new consumer needs and challenges. In our days, experience has become the object of the holiday, not just relaxation or sightseeing. Fulfillment comes from involvement, understanding and self-improvement – returning home a more knowledgeable, spiritually refreshed, or more experienced person. Furthermore, in the new digital age, national tourism agencies around the world integrate the Internet and the social media platforms into their brand strategy in order to build brand awareness of their country’s attractions as tourism destinations, and allow visitors to share their travel experiences. As “experience” is the driven force behind a country-image formation, a destination brand is often built in accordance with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, in a bottom-up approach where a destination’s brand essence constituents are depicted. In this paper, we further explore how this approach to the concept of brand could be used as a methodological tool of semiotic research for the destination branding of Greece. Starting from the bottom and moving to the top, this approach is about putting together/molding the various types of tourism, the destination “goods” (the functional and concrete offerings), the descriptive characteristics of offering, the way attributes add value to visitors; the imagery of the visitor, their experience and their emotions. All these systems form the destinations competitive identity, what makes the country unique throughout the world. The linking of all these subsystems until their formation to a complete top-level system will be realized by means of three concepts: multimodal discourse analysis, visual imagery and tourism & digital discourse. The common thread running through these three concepts is the theory of social semiotics. At the top of this evolutionary process, we find the complete image of Greece, the so-called “brand essence” of the destination (what the destination stands for). At this point, we will discuss what kind of sign the brand essense is, from a semiotic point of view.

Wir denken, dass Unternehmensplanung besser und einfacher sein sollte. Weniger langwierig, detailliert und vor allem weniger einwertig. Stattdessen so, dass sich jede Planzahl aus ihren Einflussfaktoren, Stellschrauben und Planannahmen ergibt. Und diese in ihrer ganzen möglichen Bandbreite abgebildet werden. Wir bauen solche Planungsmodelle und nennen das BUSINESS SIMULATION – weil man damit nicht nur einfach „Planzahlen erzeugt“, sondern wichtige Entscheidungen „durchspielen“ kann, ehe man sie in der Realität umsetzt. Das sollte Unternehmensplanung heute leisten.
2ND ASSIGNMENT- EFTYCHIA KARANTZA-STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece and has a population of approximately 1 million. It has a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Thessaloniki hosts many cultural and sporting events that attract tourists, such as an international film festival, trade fairs, and rowing championships. The city has implemented some sustainable tourism and transportation initiatives, including a wastewater treatment plant, urban indicator system, and sustainable urban mobility plan to promote public transit over private vehicles. However, Thessaloniki also faces challenges like air and noise pollution, lack of green space, and low tourism spending.
Medical/ Wellness Tourism: is there an opportunity for Greece?
This document discusses medical tourism and wellness tourism opportunities for Greece and the island of Amorgos. It begins by defining different types of health, medical, and wellness tourism. It then examines Amorgos's potential products and assets for wellness tourism, including nature-based activities, spiritual retreats using local herbs and traditions. The document emphasizes differentiating Amorgos's offering through its unique cultural and natural attributes. It provides examples of successful tourism collaborations in Greece to illustrate the potential of teamwork. In conclusion, the document argues Amorgos can succeed in wellness tourism by developing a clear brand that authentically reflects the island's strengths and differentiates it from other destinations.
Tourismus und Nachhaltigkeit: Version 2.0
Nachhaltigkeit als Kompetenz- und Wertethema wird für den österreichischen Tourismus zu einem Profilierungsthema und damit zur Chance, neue Impulse für die Produktentwicklung und Absicherung des wirtschaftlichen Erfolges der Branche zu setzen. Nur das ganzheitliche Zusammenspiel sozialer und ökonomischer Nachhaltigkeit garantiert den langfristigen Erfolg derartiger Impulse. Weiters darf Nachhaltigkeit im Tourismus nicht nur als kommunikativer Mehrwert gesehen werden, sondern muss in die Kerngeschäfte integriert werden. Nur so wird es im internationalen Wettbewerb gelingen, das Tourismusland Österreich differenzierend zum Wettbewerb zu positionieren.

Greeks’ Consumer behaviour in tourism
The presentation wishes to examine the push and pulls factors that motivate Greek tourists and cross refer them to the new tourist’s consumer profile. It tries to identify the current trends in tourism models and raise concerns on the development of a green tourist market arguing that the road to a profitable, sustainable tourism in Greece passes through proactive educational strategies as well as the use of targeted marketing channels and promotional tools.
Tourism
Greece relies heavily on tourism as a key source of economic growth and development. Tourism accounts for 18% of Greece's GDP and employs approximately 800,000 people. The most common forms of tourism in Greece are sun and sea tourism centered around its many islands and beaches, as well as cultural tourism focused on visiting historic sites from ancient Greek civilizations and the Byzantine era. Some of the most popular Greek islands for tourism include Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, and Corfu, which attract visitors for their natural beauty, beaches, and historic architecture and towns. Greece also has religious tourism centered around important sites like Mount Athos and Meteora, as well as spa and agrotourism in rural
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
This document discusses sustainable tourism and sustainable development. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs. Sustainable tourism considers environmental, social, cultural, and economic factors. The objectives of sustainable tourism include applying sustainable development principles to tourism by protecting natural resources, cultural heritage, and ensuring community benefits from tourism.
sustainble tourism and sustainable development
Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves balancing environmental protection, economic growth, and social progress across three pillars of sustainability. Key principles of sustainable development include equality, environmental protection, social progress, and responsible consumption that improve quality of life for both present and future generations. Youth have an important role to play in advocating for and practicing sustainable development to shape their own future.
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
This document discusses sustainable tourism development. It outlines 4 stages of destination development: discovery, development, stagnation, and potential decline or rejuvenation. It emphasizes that sustainable tourism aims to meet present needs without compromising future needs. Key prerequisites for sustainable tourism include high quality attractions, infrastructure, community support, government assistance, safety, and codes of ethics. Various stakeholders like the private sector, government, and NGOs play important roles.
Burn Your Business Plan
The document discusses business model design and testing. It emphasizes that business plans often fail upon contact with customers, so business models need to be tested through prototypes and by talking to customers to validate hypotheses. The document encourages designing business models systematically using tools like the Business Model Canvas, and iterating models through testing and pivoting based on customer feedback.

The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) aims to promote sustainability in tourism globally. It developed a set of criteria for sustainable tourism practices that are applicable worldwide for hotels, tour operators and destinations. The GSTC recognizes sustainable tourism certification standards and programs that meet its criteria. It has programs to support destinations in implementing the criteria through evaluation and training. The goal is to provide assurance to travelers that certified entities meet rigorous standards for sustainability.
Sustainable Tourism
January 2024. Sustainable Tourism, or Green Tourism, refers to sustainable practices by the tourism industry to minimize its negative impact on the environment and culture, while contributing to the local economy and ecosystem.
Sustainable tourism goals are (1) Protect natural environments, wildlife, and resources (2) Conserve heritage and culture (3) Create social and economic benefits for communities through employment and income earning.
Sustainable tourism offers many environmental, social, and economic benefits:
(A) Environmental benefits include habitat protection, climate change mitigation, pollution, emission, and waste reduction.
(B) Social benefits include local job creation which supports the community's livelihood and standard of living, food security enhancement, and social responsibility encouragement.
(C) Economic benefits include revenue generation and reduced energy and resource costs.
Sustainable tourism implementation strategies are (1) Analyze social, economic, and cultural needs (2) Measure tourism growth drivers and barriers (3) Use tourism as an asset for economic development and (4) Encourage local involvement in planning and decisions.
Sustainable tourism business growth drivers are (1) Preference change: travelers are shifting their focus from traditional concerns like price, quality, and convenience to social, cultural, and environmental issues (2) Awareness: growing awareness of the importance of protecting the natural and cultural habitat of the destination (3) New trend: sustainable tourism is a new concept which presents significant opportunities in the global tourism industry and (4) Social media: younger generations are embracing sustainable tourism, paying more for environmentally and socially committed businesses.
Sustainable tourism business challenges (barriers) are (1) Overtourism: caused by cheap flights and hotels which lead to increased energy consumption and pollution (3) Higher cost: sustainable tourism is higher in cost, leading to a lower profit margin and decreased market share and (4) Implementation lack: no political will to enforce policies and offer incentives.
Policy wise, In 2002, during the Johannesburg summit, organized by the World Tourism Organization (WTO), the Sustainable Tourism – Eliminating Poverty (ST-EP) initiative was established to promote sustainable tourism strategies, job creation, and poverty reduction. The initiative directly supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG8) Target 8.9: By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism which creates jobs, promotes local culture and products.
In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, goals, economic, social, and environmental benefits, stakeholders, implementation strategies, business growth drivers and challenges, UN policy, and global statistics of sustainable tourism.

The document discusses how tourism can contribute to a circular economy and sustainable development goals. It provides definitions of sustainable tourism and outlines UNWTO's programmatic priorities, which include innovation, investments, education, safe and seamless travel, and environmental sustainability.

1) The document summarizes a presentation on meeting the challenges of the 2030 sustainable development agenda and the Paris Agreement for tourism. It outlines the economic, environmental and social risks to global tourism, and the commitments these agreements place on destinations to promote sustainable and low-carbon tourism.
2) It recommends that destinations take a holistic approach to planning and managing their tourism sectors in line with these commitments. This involves understanding tourism value chains, monitoring impacts, building capacity, and fundraising for initiatives to improve resource efficiency, reduce emissions and support local economies and culture.
3) Specific funding opportunities are outlined, including an International Climate Initiative project to transform tourism value chains in developing countries and SIDS to accelerate low-carbon development.

1) The document discusses sustainable development and responsible tourism. International tourist arrivals are expected to increase significantly by 2030 and this growth brings economic, social, and environmental impacts.
2) Sustainable development meets present and future needs and considers economic, social, and environmental pillars. The UN Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework for tourism to contribute to goals like reducing poverty and inequality.
3) Responsible tourism involves decisions that make tourism more sustainable long-term by considering stakeholders and taking a systems approach to "wicked problems" since tourism systems are complex with many interconnections.

Bridging Travel and Sustainability | Based on extreme consumer insights
Sustainability is an emerging discourse in today’s global context with changes being brought about in many industries to positively impact the environment. Through our report, we want to understand the relationship between one of the fastest growing and highly polluting industries, tourism (WTTC.org, 2019), and find solutions to bring a fundamental shift to it regarding sustainability. Our agenda is to understand the current trends that dominate the tourism industry by deriving insights from stakeholders, on both the demand and supply end. To come up with an innovation to tackle the pain-points, we will conduct in-depth interviews of those who give importance to travel, sustainability, or both in everyday life. Through our report, we wish to come up with an implementable solution that has the potential to make sustainable tourism more accessible for those who like to travel and wish to positively impact the environment. Throughout our report, we’ll be using Elfriede Penz et al., 2017, “Fostering Sustainable Travel Behavior: Role of Sustainability Labels and Goal-Directed Behavior Regarding Touristic Services” as a theoretical guide to drill down our findings.
Travel responsibly: How can we make tourism sustainable (again)?

ENAT Study on Inclusive Tourism
This document discusses challenges and actions needed for the European tourism sector regarding disability policy through 2010. It reviews policy developments from 1990-2007 related to accessible tourism, including initiatives by the UN, EU, and organizations like ENAT. The key points are: (1) Accessible tourism is important for Europe's global competitiveness and sustainability as demographic trends increase the proportion of older and disabled travelers. (2) While progress has been made in policies, more work is needed to implement accessible tourism and coordinate efforts across Europe. (3) Standards and sharing of good practices can help tourism providers meet growing demand from rights of disabled persons to equal participation in society.

Sustainable Tourism and it's requirement.pptx
Sustainable tourism aims to conserve natural and cultural resources while providing economic opportunities for local communities. It involves stakeholders including governments, communities, tourism operators, and NGOs. Sustainable tourism benefits the environment by protecting resources, benefits communities by creating jobs and revenue, and benefits tourism by maintaining attractive destinations. However, tourism also poses threats like overuse of resources if not properly managed through carrying capacity limits and best practices. There is growing global demand for sustainable tourism options.

This document summarizes the impact of international and domestic economic crises in Greece from 2008-2015 on its tourism industry and the measures taken to mitigate the effects. It notes declines in Greek GDP, jobs, and initial tourism arrivals and receipts during these crises. However, through strategic investments, marketing, facilitating visas, and showcasing solidarity, Greece was able to significantly increase tourism arrivals and receipts by 2015 to levels surpassing pre-crisis figures, with tourism's contribution to GDP also rising. Nonetheless, challenges around human resources and talent shortages remained.
