The environmental risks that manifest themselves in climate change, pollution, desertification and species extinction increasingly affect our planet and present various challenges to organizations and citizens.

Title: Sustainable tourism marketing and communication
Today we will learn how you can better market and communicate what makes you different, by focusing on how it makes your customer’s experience more complete. With examples and key take away lessons, we will share realistic ideas you can adapt, relevant to the decisions your customers need to take that will help reassure them you are the right company for their needs. Without idealism, jargon and save the planet messages.
