Rethinking the Tourism of the Future. Keys to transformation
The Tourism sector is and will be one of the most affected by the health crisis of the COVID-19, which can lead to losses in millions of dollars both in economic terms and in terms of people employed around the world.
The United Nations Global Compact has been working side by side with companies for 20 years to seek new ways to manage business more responsibly and since 2016, it has been working with organizations in the Tourism sector to promote sustainable Tourism.
In this virtual conference, we want to explore with experts and professionals from the sector's companies the main issues that concern this moment of sectoral catharsis, so that it can serve as a lever for real change in Tourism.
Together, we will analyze the current situation of the Tourism sector to seek creative and innovative solutions that will help us to rethink, reinvent and rebuild one of the main engines of our economy. The transformation cannot be postponed.
