The Role of Environmental Conservation in Tourism and Hospitality : For a Promising Future
Plenary Session IV (90 minutes) : Environmental conservation is crucial in the tourism and hospitality industry. As a cornerstone of many economies, this industry increasingly recognises that its future prosperity depends on the health and functionality of surrounding ecosystems. Embracing environmental conservation is vital for sustainable development, preserving natural and cultural assets, mitigating climate change impacts, and meeting consumer expectations. By integrating environmental stewardship into their strategies, tourism and hospitality businesses can foster growth and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient sector.
