The Tourism Concern postponed AGM is to be held at London Metropolitan University on Saturday, January 23rd at 10:30am – 2:30pm. The organization is hoping that the meeting will influence the direction and success of Tourism Concern moving into the next decade. Or not.

- Should they consider a merger with another organisation?
The organisation is also looking for volunteers working half day shifts on their stand at Destinations holiday and travel show in London in the ‘Responsible Travel’ area. between the 4-7 of February,
