“Good Tourism” news & events

Enjoy “GT’s” monthly “Good news in tour­ism” posts, which sum­mar­ise a month’s worth of “GT” Insights, “GT” Travel, “GT” Part­ner news, and your comments.

Also find here Partner/Sponsor mes­sages from The “Good Tour­ism” Blo­g’s Part­ners and friends plus cov­er­age of travel & tour­ism industry events to which “GT” is invited or oth­er­wise involved. Ad hoc sponsored news posts are also very welcome.

“GT” retired its weekly “Good news in tour­ism” posts in April 2021. The weekly posts fea­tured brief sum­mar­ies of and links to pos­it­ive industry news from off-piste sources. Before Decem­ber 2019, “GT” would sum­mar­ise under-repor­ted news stor­ies or thought-pro­vok­ing fea­ture art­icles by non-industry media. The sources were well-attrib­uted and linked. Any con­tent “GT” repub­lished in full was avail­able for that pur­pose from the likes of The Con­ver­sa­tion and Thom­son Reu­ters Found­a­tion.

Busi­ness travel in Asia Pacific — and glob­ally — is recov­er­ing strongly post-COV­­ID, along with the tour­ism industry more gen­er­ally.  How­ever, the rebound is com­plic­ated by linger­ing con­cerns about health and safety (the duty of care employ­ers and travel man­agers should have to busi­ness trav­el­lers), as well as ESG (envir­on­ment­al, social, and gov­ernance) wor­ries. Del­eg­ates heard about this on […]
