Can All-inclusives be sustainable? FULL HOUSE
Contingents from TUI T Cook, ABTA and Virgin to attend: FULL UP: Watch live and tweet
Who gets the benefits? Are all-inclusives really profitable and for whom? Can communities benefit? Are they environmentally friendly? Can they be sustainable at any stretch of the imagination? These, and many more, are the questions that are on the table to be answered at this special masterclass to discuss the effect of all inclusives on communities and tourists and the tourism industry in general.
TUI has indicated that they wish to support the Vision on Sustainable Tourism/TotemTourism masterclass on the questionable sustainability of all-inclusives and will be sending a high-level delegation to the event.
Also attending will be representatives of AITO operators, Thomas Cook, Virgin Holidays and independent hoteliers including global prizewinning Amy Carter James.
The format has now been set with a limit of 30 participants and a round table meeting from 09.00 until 12.30
Said Valere Tjolle, editor and publisher of Vision on Sustainable Tourism and moderator of the event “We are very keen to make this a thoughtful and fact-filled evaluation of the concept and feel that this format is the best way to afford a voice to each participant – rather than a ‘them and us’ situation.”
The event will be streamed live and recordings will subsequently be available visit BGB WEBCAST to watch
A twitter hashtag #stallincs has been provided for the event and there will be a tweetdeck available before, during and after the meeting. SO TWEET
