It offers a unique resource to the tourism industry, helping to safeguard resources on which business depends and balancing
the need for sustainability with profitability.                      
 
The Foundation’s focus is on protecting and enhancing the environment and improving the well-being of destination communities. Enriching the tourism experience, now and in to the future.

The development of the Foundation helps enable a real breakthrough for sustainable tourism and is good news for consumers, companies, destination communities and policy makers.
  • Consumers get greater quality and an enriched holiday experience, as well as the reassurance that their favourite destinations will be protected for generations to come.
  • Businesses are better able to meet the needs of their customers, at the same time as protecting the resources on which their future depends.
  • Destination communities receive greater benefit from tourism, with a boost to their local economy and conservation of the natural environment, local traditions and culture.
  • Local and national governments have evidence to develop effective tourism policies and support destination communities and environments.
