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.
