Program areas at Tourism Cares

Tourism Cares believes in creating measurable and substantive change for long term destination impact. In order for destinations to endure future challenges, their local communities must be strong and resilient. By involving multi-sector stakeholders in the decision making process, destinations ensure a stronger future through sustainable Tourism planning. Our programs highlight how local organizations are transforming communities. Tourism Cares helps to connect these local changemakers to the greater Tourism marketplace through its convenings and social enterprise connections.further, Tourism Cares uses the united nations sustainable development goals ("sdgs") to help frame its goals for its program service work. We spotlight how members of our community are advancing the sdgs through value chain integration and collaborative partnerships, in hopes of engaging and inspiring the travel and Tourism industry. We understand that Tourism can generate global impact when we join forces and act, so we harness the strength of our convening power to create a ripple effect.
