The global Travel & Tourism industry must operate to the highest standards to prove that it is a force for good and not a force for destruction.That is according to the President & CEO of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), David Scowsill, in his closing speech at the WTTC Global Summit in Hainan, China (24-25 April 2014).
Mr Scowsill is calling on the sector to demonstrate leadership and accountability; "The Travel & Tourism industry needs to report and communicate the benefits and value it brings and ensure that it genuinely embraces a Tourism for Tomorrow. Standards of ethics and sustainability must be of the highest order. We need to work in true partnership with governments - when they listen - and with our local communities and stakeholders. We must also engage with our staff, our customers and our consumers".
Subjects discussed at the WTTC Global Summit have included volatility and unpredictability, climate change and disaster recovery, infrastructure planning and sustainability, growth and jobs, peace and prosperity, collaboration and co-operation and culture and understanding.
