An exhibition for tourism and sustainable investments will be held at the Kampong Ayer Cultural and Tourism Gallery from September 30 to October 7.
The exhibition, organised by the Tourism Development Department, aims to offer a platform to eco-driven agencies dedicated to sustainable initiatives that benefit the environment and uplift local communities. The exhibition will be held in conjunction with World Tourism Day, an annual celebration held every September 27.
The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has chosen ‘Tourism and Green Investments’ as its central theme this year. It seeks to redefine tourism investments in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic with a specific focus on three key priorities: people, planet, and prosperity.
UNWTO emphasises the crucial requirement for both traditional and innovative investments to promote sustainable tourism.
World Tourism Day 2023 will serve as a global call to action, urging governments, financial institutions, development partners, and private sector investors to rally behind a new tourism investment strategy that focuses on education, sustainable infrastructure, green transformation, and innovation.
The ‘Green Horizons: Tourism & Sustainable Investments Exhibition’ serves as a direct response to these priorities, bringing together groups that exemplify a commitment to environmental sustainability, community well-being, and economic prosperity.
Visitors can expect an exhibition that showcases the efforts of these organisations towards a green and sustainable tourism. – James Kon
