Animal welfare, waste and plastic pollution, and the preservation of culture are among the top three concerns people have about the impact on their holidays, according to Abta’s 2023/24 Holiday Habits report, closely followed by nature conservation, overtourism and the impact of climate change on communities.

'More and more agents are concerned about sustainability in tourism'

Abta's Delivering Sustainable Travel Conference will be held on 15 May

It tells us people are interested and concerned about a broad range of sustainability issues relating to tourism and this is the something we are reflecting at Abta’s upcoming Delivering Sustainable Travel Conference later this month (15 May).

We know from our work with members that many businesses are working on initiatives around these important issues, and I’m pleased that we’ll get to showcase them at the event later this month.
