Climate change and controls over emissions are set to change the markets and the economics of the world we live in.

In the same way as fuel costs and currency fluctuations have driven tourism growth, and weaknesses – the same will happen with climate change, but moreso

New forces will change:

• How we travel  
• Where we travel  
• When we travel  
• How often we travel  
• Why we travel  
• How long we stay
• Where we stay
• And much, much more

Get the inside track on this story and obtain a market advantage in this critical issue.

The 2011/12 issue of the Tourism and Carbon Market Guide is due to be published shortly..
The report outlines today’s single biggest tourism issue and offers the opportunity for tourism businesses to understand and use the emissions market to: save money, make money, get more efficient and cost effective, gain market share, operate sustainably, healthily and spiritually AND get MASSIVE market advantage.

A few facts:

• Legislative mechanisms have been set in place. The clock is running – it is only a matter of time before rigorous legislation and increasing energy prices take their massive toll on the travel and tourism industry.
• The EU ETS emission trading system it is set eventually to change the cost and the economics of flying – globally.
• The world is going to have to reduce total emissions if we are to avert disaster. This will only be done by the carrot (big savings for green energy) and the stick (big taxes for black energy) – the tourism industry emits somewhere between 5% and 15% of global emissions – do you think that it will escape?
• As in every other big change (think electricity, the internet, the economic crisis) those that are prepared and understand win and those that don’t understand and are unprepared lose.
• Big, smart hotel groups are already coining it in by managing their energy use/emissions – for instance IHG states that their Green Engage program is already saving them over $100 million a year.
• YOU can save BIG and get sustainable competitive advantage too – why miss out?
