It’s still too easy to be in tourism and cut corners as an employer. Looking after (migrant) staff and local communities is a key aspect of responsible tourism. We lack enforcement and consequences. The bad tourism & hospitality apples can keep on running their dodgy business models and travellers continue to buy exploitative holidays. #responsibletourism #sustainabletourism #fairtradetourism #ESG Special Report: Why the S in ESG Matters https://lnkd.in/eXx3NRjp

Travalyst’s free sustainable tourism certification initiative aims to be inclusive, and they are cautious to ensure they do not, inadvertently, legitimise inequity in the certifications industry. https://lnkd.in/gq2CE9fK

Travalyst asks: Is there enough sustainable #accommodation supply to empower the European traveller? And on #certification points out that 'it is estimated that less than 50% of third party certification bodies will survive post 2027 which will further minimise sustainable supply.' So guess that means the answer is 'no'? #sustainabletourism #responsibletourism #audit #3rdparty #greenclaimsdirective #EU https://lnkd.in/gCw7MV_j

High-income households emit more greenhouse gases, primarily due to transport behavior. - Report by Sandra Bohmann, and Merve Kücük • Study using 2023 SOEP data analyses the per capita carbon footprint in Germany in the areas of residential energy use, nutrition, and transport • At 6.5 tons of carbon emissions per capita per year, emissions in these areas are twice as high as required to achieve the two-degree target • High-income households cause twice as many emissions as low-income households • Main drivers of emissions are meat consumption, the number of people living in a household, per capita living space, and particularly air travel • In addition to individual efforts, politicians should set the course by introducing an animal welfare levy, a ban on short flights, and simplifying housing swaps Can destinations have responsible tourism if they (overly) depend on developed source markets and the rich with their high carbon lifestyles and frequent flyer behaviour? #responsibletourism #sustainabletourism #lowcarbontravel #CO2 #transport #aviation Source: https://lnkd.in/eYZGsHBn
