Delegates at the association’s Alive and Kicking virtual conference on Tuesday (15 December) heard how the recently formed Aito Climate Crisis group would seek to “contribute to the essential decrease in global warming, whilst continuing to promote the benefits of meaningful travel”.
Director Derek Moore said the think tank would focus on issues such as overtourism, consumer travel practices and curbing carbon emissions and work alongside Aito’s Sustainable Tourism Committee.
“We feel that Aito has a duty to use our position in the industry to draw attention to these harmful effects and foster the improvement of our sector’s behaviour,” he said.
