Partnering for a Future of Responsible Tourism
C
ontributing to the success and sustainable development of cruise destinations is of vital importance to the cruise industry. Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is partnering with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), city leaders and port authorities to map out the future of sustainable tourism in popular destinations. CLIA and GSTC have teamed
with the cities and ports of Corfu and Heraklion in Greece to develop Destination Assessments that will help the municipalities understand how to capture the social and economic benefits of tourism for residents while safeguarding the long-term sustainability of these popular Greek destinations. This latest cooperation, which builds on CLIA’s collaboration with GSTC and the City of Dubrovnik,
Croatia, offers an example of how city authorities, industry and local communities can collaborate to achieve a common vision for responsible tourism. More information can be found at cruising.org/en/news-and-research/ sustainability. Cruising is the one of the best ways to experience the world, and CLIA and our cruise line members look forward to welcoming passengers back from around the world.
