The agency says 43 of its advisors completed the intensive masterclass on sustainability, as part of its long-term strategy to promote responsible tourism.  

 

Nearly one in every four Designer Travel consultants are now certified by Kiwano Sustainability, an e-learning platform to educate industry professionals on greenwashing and ecotourism. 

 

Hosted by Rebecca Woolford, the training took approximately 20 hours to complete and included six in-depth modules on everything from carbon footprint and tourism leakage to biodiversity and gender equality.
