Sustainability Advocate, Indigenous Leader, and Expert in Sustainable Tourism and Climate Policy
In this thought-provoking, idea-generating hands-on workshop, participants step into the shoes of local decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and community members tasked with shaping the future of tourism in a fictional (but realistic) destination. Based on real-world case studies from Borneo, Panama, and beyond, the session challenges participants to design a tourism plan that regenerates, that prioritises community wellbeing, cultural preservation, and environmental integrity.
