Program and speakers announced for 2024 Global Sustainable Tourism Summit
Program and speakers have been revealed for the inaugural 2024 Global Sustainable Tourism Summit to be held in Brisbane from 4th to 6th June 2024.
Previously known as the Global Eco Asia-Pacific Tourism Conference, one of the longest running ecotourism conferences in the world, the Global Sustainable Tourism Summit combines the Global Eco Conference with the innovative ECO Think Destination Forum held in 2022 and 2023. Tourism Australia is the first Partner for the event.
The Global Sustainable Tourism Summit will explore the theme ‘People, Planet, Place, Purpose’, delving into how all sectors of the visitor economy can address the four pillars of sustainability: cultural, environmental, socio-economic, and sustainable business management.
Ecotourism Australia looks forward to connecting with tourism operators, destination managers and government and industry body representatives throughout the event.
