I run a professional blog in Hungarian, in which I share Austrian good practices in Hungary in the field of digitization and the circular economy. As a signatory member of the Future of Tourism Coalition and the UN Glasgow Declaration of Climate Action Tourism, as a member of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), I spread good sustainability practices in the field of tourism in Hungary an in the CEE Region. Furthermore, I regularly report on these activities in my sustainability tourism podcast, helping to promote awareness and mindset change on a larger scale. When spreading the principles of degrowth and green economy, my motto is, more fun with less stuff. I believe that it is the responsibility of those active in the field of tourism to achieve, during product development, that community experiences come into focus instead of the consumption of material goods that negatively affect climate change. "Dunakavicsok turisztikai podcast" is a one stop shop learning and tutorial platform for students, SMEs, destination management companies and tourism stakeholders.

In the future, I aim to:
-Have at least 5 blog articles per month on this topic and the number of citations in professional trade magazines and exceed 5 per month.
-Undertake 3-4 conference presentations per year in order to spread to world and introduce the good approach in Hungary.
-Publish 8-10 attitude-shaping podcasts yearly on sustainability topics per year in order to build the world of future tourism.
