Travel’s Green Revolution Remains a Work in Progress
Overtourism, flight shaming, climate strikes, and global warming are each major issues with serious ramifications for the global travel sector. Until recently, though, industry leaders haven't had much to say about their efforts to change the status quo.
At Skift Global Forum in New York City last Wednesday and Thursday, travel's top executives expressed concerns with overtourism and the environmental impact of travel but did little to offer alternative visions to limit the damage to the environment and communities around the world.
The theme of the event was travel's responsibility to the world, and on that subject, executives clearly showed they have a ton of work to do to create positive, lasting change.
