         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.
