The past 18 months have been incredibly impactful on so many fronts for the travel and hospitality industry.

With international borders opening up again, destinations are rethinking their tourism economies for the decades to come, shifting toward a more sustainable outlook and overall approach. At the same time, travelers — particularly Gen Z and millennials — are expressing their desires for more sustainable travel, regardless of higher expenses.

In this video from Skift's Destinations & Sustainability Summit, Jennifer Andre, vice president of business development at Expedia Group Media Solutions, takes us through the future of sustainable tourism, reminding us that sustainability need not be cumbersome. Through traveler encouragement, the use of first-party data, and harnessing partnerships for credibility and scale, the path to fully sustainable tourism is already at the doorstep.
