From Principles to Policy: Cultural Sustainability in Tourism
A practical, guided workshop that takes your team from theory to action and leaves you with a draft cultural sustainability policy tailored to your organization and community context.
Why this workshop
Tourism organizations are expected to demonstrate responsibility, authenticity, and cultural respect. Policies often remain generic, missing the connection between values and day‑to‑day operations. This workshop changes that with a clear, repeatable method.
Built for action
- Grounded in cultural sustainability practice for tourism.
- Designed for DMOs, operators, and cultural heritage teams.
- Hands‑on exercises with live feedback and examples.
- Templates you can keep and reuse with your team.
