Why is this pocket guide important for tourism operators to have, to read, and be knowledgeable about?
So that our businesses and operational plans for the forthcoming years, our approaches to integrating carbon friendly transportation, and our approach to becoming carbon neutral becomes part of how we, as Canadian operators, contribute to sustainable tourism.
It is vitally important that we are leaders in sustainable tourism. It is part of why Canada is perceived to Brand #2 in the world – a clean environment, a place with good clean water, and an economy and political context in which we are “perceived to be” leaders in sustainability within the modern world.
Finally, the UN Climate Conference takes place Dec. 7 – 18. We need to be informed about the issues. This pocket guide takes us a long step towards understanding it in a simple and effective way.
