Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) webinar recorded on September 14, 2017. From overtourism to transformative travel, what are some of the key trends relevant to sustainability issues and solutions in the tourism industry? The webinar has been delivered as part of the GSTC's Sustainable Tourism Training Program (STTP).
The marketing advantage of the sustainable travel niche is the growing desire of consumers to “do well” while vacationing and traveling. That desire to “do well” has gone mainstream with the National Geographic estimating as many as 55-65 million U.S. tourists can be classified as geotourists, and geotourists spend 75% of the money spent on tourism. Understanding the basics of sustainable and socially-responsible travel can set you apart from other agencies and gain you more affluent clients.
The presentation addresses the ABCs of sustainable travel: 1)What defines a travel products as sustainable as well as socially-responsible, 2)how agents can confirm the sustainability of a travel product and 3) how to market consumers. Further, ASTA’s green program will be explained as well as the contents of the expanded ASTA Green Guide for Travel Agents.

there to take your children (or grandchildren)?
