Travelling for work, study or leisure? What to know before you go… 🗣 The voice of youth is powerful and sought after. Around 1.2 billion people aged 15-24 account for 16% of the global population.

Prior to Covid, Tourism accounted for 3.1% of Australia’s GDP, at $63.4b in 2018/19. Young people are not simply the future of the sector, they are active now; socially and physically mobile around the globe in the pursuit of work, study and leisure. Want to know more?

🌍 Exciting news from Tunisia! The Youth Love Egypt Foundation (YLE), in partnership with Erasmus+ and several international collaborators, has launched the third phase of two impactful projects: Youth Travel Sustainably and Supporting Youth Employability in Sustainable Tourism. These initiatives are designed to equip young people with the skills needed to develop eco-friendly tourism solutions. Held in Sousse, Tunisia, this phase follows earlier stages in Turkey and Siwa Oasis, Egypt, and brings together participants from Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey, Lebanon, and Slovenia. Each day, I’ll be sharing the outcomes from this transformative program, focusing on how we empowered participants to create sustainable tourism initiatives that address environmental and social challenges. Throughout the program, participants gained hands-on experience in developing and marketing eco-friendly tourism products, engaging local communities, and fostering cultural exchange. They also built essential skills in financial planning and project evaluation, ensuring their projects are both impactful and sustainable long-term. Here’s the first update from Day One: We started the day with a Welcome and Program Overview, where participants were introduced to the program’s goals and reviewed key accomplishments from previous phases. Following this, participants engaged in interactive workshops focused on green entrepreneurship, exploring key concepts such as the Linear Economy, Circular Economy, and the Green Model. To close the day, participants brainstormed business ideas that address social, economic, and environmental challenges, putting the green entrepreneurship concepts they had learned into practice. This is just the first update! Make sure to follow to keep up with daily insights as these young leaders work to create sustainable tourism projects that will positively impact their communities. #SustainableTourism #GreenEntrepreneurship #EcoTourism #YLE #ErasmusPlus #YouthEmpowerment #GreenSolutions

Why it’s important to ensure continued support and funding for MeetDenmark: As discussions currently arise regarding potential cuts to funding for MeetDenmark, it's crucial to emphasize the pivotal role this organization plays in sustaining our business tourism industry. Business tourism isn't just about revenue; it's about driving growth. With a turnover of 35.6 billion DKK, it represents over 25% of Denmark's total tourism expenditure. In 2019, this sector contributed 16.9 billion DKK in taxes, crucial for our collective growth and welfare. International conferences and congresses are key drivers of this economic impact. We know that from the many events we craft at Bella Center Copenhagen and our hotels – across a wide array of professional fields. Business tourists spend more per day than leisure tourists, benefiting various businesses. Moreover, the competition for hosting these events is fierce. Any reduction in support for MeetDenmark would be detrimental. MeetDenmark's efforts are instrumental in attracting major international events, directly translating into revenue for Danish companies. On behalf of Bellagroup and the wider industry I urge policymakers to continue prioritizing business tourism. Supporting organizations like MeetDenmark is an investment in future prosperity. Let's ensure Denmark remains a premier destination for international events, bolstering our economy and global standing.
