The Blue Yonder (TBY) has been invited by ITB – Berlin to organise a
networking evening to bring together Responsible Tourism initiatives across
the world on the 13th March 2009. This was following the success
of fringe events organised by TBY and its partner (Your Safe Planet –YSP) in
relation with World Travel Market in London in the last two years. Both the
events brought together individuals and organisations pursuing Responsible
Tourism in destinations and markets.
ITB Berlin is dedicating one day on Corporate Social Responsibility of the
travel industry and is organising several workshops and conferences on CSR.
The evening of 13th March will be providing a platform for Tour
Operators, Grass Root organisations, Media, Policy makers and flag-bearers of
Responsible Tourism to come together.
“Being the leading travel show in
the world, ITB provides a unique opportunity to learn and share from various
RT initiatives across the world. The event
will bring together those who are looking for promoting their RT products in
the originating markets and those in the markets looking for genuine and
unique products from the destinations. Considering the demand for such a
gathering to learn and share, it is only natural for us to bring this event
to ITB. The networking event will be organised in a way that attendees get an
opportunity to present their initiatives to the gathering.”
The Blue Yonder is also organising a workshop focusing on Travel Philanthropy
and Responsible Tourism prior to the RT networking event. The 45-minutes
discussions and short workshop will be organised in association with Centre for Eco Tourism in Destinations
(CESD), Go Philanthropic.om
and Travel To Care. The session
will be looking at various trends in Travel Philanthropy.
