Tourism is
the largest industry in the world, and cities by far the largest creation
of humanity. In a world with less resources and more people, how
can we use human ingenuity to design a future in balance with
nature? Luckily many have begun.
Please
join us as our keynote speaker Mark McGuffie shares inspiring and
concrete examples of innovations from around the world, with his unique
insights as the convener for The World Congress on Zero Emissions
Initiatives - Launching "The Blue Economy” in 2010, where he
hosted innovators & leaders in sustainability practices from places
like Bhutan, the Canary Islands, Colombia, Japan, Sweden, and many
others, while also sharing the ancient traditions and cultural values
that his home of Hawai‘i demonstrates with the spirit of
"Aloha".
First
defining "What is Sustainable Tourism", McGuffie continues his
talk by sharing Blue Economy inspired innovations already being
implemented as solutions around the world. By designing with
nature, Blue Economy innovations go beyond sustainability and are based
on whole systems thinking, that save energy, create jobs, and eliminate
waste.
With his
extensive experience and long history in the tourism and hotel industry,
Mark McGuffie is uniquely qualified to speak
about Sustainable Tourism for the 21st Century, please join us!
Of special note, an opportunity to take a Zero Waste Workshop with
Gary Liss of the U.S. Zero Waste Business Council as a part of the
all day Saturday program on May 4, see details below.
