SUMMARY:Transform Tourism // Being Resilient & Sustainable in 2021
DESCRIPTION:Transform Tourism // Being Resilient & Sustainable in 2021\nThe 2020 Pandemic took the whole world by a storm the better part of last year. One of the sectors that were widely affected was the tourism sector. This happened at a time when the sector was doing so well\, given that statistics show a record of about 1.5 billion tourists traveling internationally in 2019. \nThe pandemic saw a heightened uncertainty in the sector as travel restrictions were introduced. In Fact\, The United Nations World Tourism Organization estimated that global international tourist arrivals might have decreased by 58% to 78% in 2020\, leading to a potential loss of US$0.9–1.2 trillion in international tourism receipts. \nApart from that\, businesses in the sector were forced to either shut down completely or restructure to stay afloat\, not forgetting the whole issue around Climate change and global warming that is also eating into the industry. \nAs the industry slowly picks up\, we sought out to understand the aftermath effects and measures policymakers in the space are putting up to ensure the industry returns to its past glory. \nJoin us for a webinar with Angela Njehia\, Director and Co-founder of Tierranjani Africa\, a Sustainable Tourism Development firm that focuses on building capacity for tourism and travel-related organizations\, tourism associations\, destinations\, conservation organizations\, community-based tourism organizations\, and local governments\, on Thursday 18th March 2021 from 11:00 am as we look into the tourism sector\, the impact the pandemic has had on the sector and how organizations have navigated through the season. \nDuring the webinar\, Angela will also highlight examples of how they are aligning recovery plans and investments with a transition that meets the objectives of health and safety\, sustainability\, climate action\, and biodiversity protection.  \nOn top of it\, we will cover topics around the importance of policy coherence and public-private partnerships\, as well as innovation through digital transformation. Many solutions currently available and can be efficiently used through close collaboration and coordination among destinations\, businesses\, the local communities\, visitors\, policymakers\, as well as investors.   \nDo not forget to RSVP! \nWhen: Thursday\, 18th March\nTime: 11:00 am - 1:00pm\nLocation: Online\nRSVP via Evenbrite >> \nAbout Angela\n\nAngela Njehia is the Director and Co-founder of Tierranjani Africa.
