We do this by leveraging the power of travel and tourism, which employs 1 in 11 people on the planet. We work with local people, government ministers, community leaders and others—providing them with the guidance and solutions they need to determine their own future. And we work with businesses that rely on these destinations so that they can contribute to the long-term health and well-being of the places they depend on. SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL INTERNATIONAL
