Each of our panelists has approached their sustainability journeys in a different way and have unique stories to tell about how they started incorporating more responsible practices into their business operations.\r\n\r\nWhat worked for them? What stumbling blocks did they encounter and how did they overcome them? What is the role of passion, personal investment and stakeholder buy in? How do you operationalize ideas? What is the low-hanging fruit?\r\n\r\nWe\u2019ll present ideas for learning, collaboration and activation.\u00a0The session will come from a tour operator perspective, but will be relevant to anyone who works with them and wants to begin to implement sustainability strategies of their own.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nGoals:<\/strong>\r\n
