The European Travel Commission is steadfast in its ongoing commitment to fostering sustainability within the tourism sector. Building on its established Climate Action Plan, ETC is actively working with National Tourism Organizations to adopt circular economy practices and reduce emissions by 50% by 2030. Through a suite of initiatives—including workshops, an online information-sharing platform, and future publications—they aim to empower members with the tools and knowledge to implement effective climate action strategies. This enduring pledge not only highlights ETC’s leadership in sustainable tourism but also beckons the industry to stay engaged and informed on these transformative efforts.
