The Impact Show
30+ presentations on sustainable tourism best practice, 7 minutes each, delivered by our members and leading industry leaders.
This 2-day event brought together global industry leaders who delivered actionable strategies and unveiled the innovative processes they've championed to spread impact in conservation, sustainable tourism, and community empowerment.
At this year’s Virtual Impact Show, we will host global experts alongside our members to share their take on some of the most pressing topics facing sustainable tourism and conservation, globally. From rewilding initiatives and equitable community collaborations to cultural preservation reimagined, see how they’re setting the gold standard for responsible travel.
Meet the pioneers proving that transformative impact stems from ingenuity on the ground: mission-driven leaders who prioritise biodiversity, equity, and heritage as the bedrock of thriving destinations.
