TUI says First Choice to go 100% all-inclusive is this sustainable? Discuss at masterclass on 10 May

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.

Called as a result of the UK’s leading light of mainstreaming sustainability – TUI PLC – announcing that one of its major brands is to be 100% all inclusive.

The half-day masterclass is to be held in central London on 10 May. It will be streamed live globally and will have a tweet deck.

It is hoped that TUI, in particular will attend and present – other major tour operators have also been invited.

Sustainable Tourism Masterclasses have been held for the last three years and have attracted full houses of attendees and top speakers of global repute.

Speakers have included: Professor Geoffrey Lipman (Beyond Tourism), Dr Murray Simpson (Oxford University), Dr Stefan Gossling (Lund University), Rachel McCaffery (Virgin Holidays), Vicky Murray (FutureForum), Jonathan Mitchell (Overseas Development Institute), Gopinath Parayil (Nila Foundation) James Whittingham (TUI), Rob Weston (Organismics), Gordon Sillence (Destinet) and JP Bergqvist (Sleepwell)

This event is likely to be extremely popular and early booking is recommended.

The cost of attending the masterclass is £100 per person.

The masterclass is held by Vision on Sustainable Tourism in conjunction with TotemTourism’s Sustainable Tourism Report Suite

Sustainable Tourism Report Suite 2011 is supported by: Discover Ltd, Cape Town Tourism, Change for Tomorrow Ltd., Six Senses Resorts & Spas, Innovation Norway, Virgin Holidays, Association of British Travel Agents, Thomas Cook Ltd., Ogilvy Public Relations
