Making
Travel & Tourism Work for Everyone
|

President & CEO, Noel Group

While the Travel
& Tourism industry cannot easily influence political
issues, the success of its business can contribute
to the well-being of local communities, helping
to bridge the gap between the 'haves' and 'have
nots' of this world through the alleviation of poverty
and, thereby, to encourage peace between nations.
Is the industry doing enough to fulfil its responsibilities
to society at large? How can Travel & Tourism
businesses make a difference? |

CyberDodo Productions Ltd.
CyberDodo Productions Ltd. have asked their prestigious
supporters and partners to bring their expertise to the
current thinking in the development of the tourism industry. |

The Commentators'
Panel
The media plays a significant role in shaping
public opinion and beliefs. What kind of image,
and how much credibility, does the Travel
& Tourism industry and all its different
sectors have in the eyes of the media and,
through them, its different stakeholders?
How can the media work with industry to promote
the strategic importance and potential of
Travel & Tourism to economies and societies
worldwide? |

Blueprint
for New Tourism
Given the changing operating environment
and shifting customer behaviour, Travel
& Tourism needs a new vision and a new
strategy. The Blueprint for New Tourism
should promote the importance of Travel
& Tourism in terms of economic growth
and job creation. But, above all, it must
ensure its sustainable growth in the future
– making Travel & Tourism work
for everyone. How do we turn this vision
into a reality?
