A final Word on Copenhagen ...

Closing off 2010, Geoffrey Lipman provides a comphrensive analysis of what actually went on in Copenhagen, and what results were acheived. It leaves us in no doubt that the next three years will be critical when it comes to successful implementation of sustainable tourism development. In the markets-first, security-first scenarios that have become the hallmarks of this decade, a sustainabilty-first path is still far from our ability to collectively implement. The door is open for the tourism sector to take a global lead in 2010 to keep climate change and sustainable development on the agenda, ensuring that tourist destinations and their communities enjoy socio-economic prosperity and environmental protection, and tourists are given environmentally friendly, carbon- neutral means of travelling and enjoying their stays throughout the world.
