Über die Webserie Linking & Learning
Im Rahmen des Welttourismus-Tages 2020 hat die TUI Care Foundation eine online Diskussions-Serie gestartet, in der Expert*innen über die neuesten Trends und Themen besprechen. Die Themen reichen von der Reduktion von Einwegkunststoffen, bis hin zu sozialem Unternehmertum und regenerativer Landwirtschaft. Gemeinsam wird erörtert, auf welche vielfältige Weise die Tourismusbranche die Lebensgrundlagen von Menschen in Urlaubsorten auf der ganzen Welt bereits positiv verbessert. Zudem werden Möglichkeiten diskutiert, wie der Tourismus seinen positiven Einfluss auf die Entwicklungsarbeit vervielfachen kann.
Möchten Sie gern mehr über diese Themen erfahren oder verstehen, wie der Tourismus bei der Entwicklung von Urlaubsdestinationen mitwirken kann? Bringen Sie Wissen und Know-how mit, das Sie mit uns teilen können, weil Sie bereits im Bereich nachhaltiger Tourismus und Entwicklungsarbeit tätig sind? Dann freuen wir uns, Sie während dieser öffentlichen online Diskussionen begrüßen zu dürfen.
Schauen Sie sich gerne auf dieser Seite um, um die Videos unserer vergangenen Podiumsdiskussionen anzusehen.
Die Linking & Learning Diskussionen finden auf Englisch statt.

Digital technology is a powerful tool for sustainable development in tourism destinations. It helps local businesses access information and new markets, communicate easily with their customers and scale up their operations efficiently. We can already see the benefits of this in areas of development like agriculture, education and finance. But 2020 has brought its own challenges and there’s still a long way to go. Now, more than ever, investing in digital technology can support sustainable development and help communities be more resilient. The panelists share how they’ve used ICT and digital technology in their own organisations and explore how this could work in tourism destinations and communities.
