Power of Partnership Stewardship Summit Pledge

We welcome all. ALL are welcome regardless of age, race, ethnicity, ability, gender, sexuality or religion. We approach all we do with accessibility, inclusivity, and fairness in mind, ensuring that we are proactive in everyone’s ability to participate and benefit.

We involve local stakeholders. We advocate for equity and fairness and commit to involving local communities in a way that elevates the local voice and respects their vision of tourism. We encourage full, effective, and equitable participation and treat community partners as equal partners. 

We respect the environment and consume responsibly. In every place we work, we will focus on treading lightly. We commit to respecting local laws and environmental guidelines, limiting the use and purchase of single-use plastics, opting for reusable, sustainable, and low-carbon products and activities wherever possible, and ‘leaving no trace.’

We recognize the need for urgent climate action. We commit to taking intentional steps to support the achievement of Net Zero targets within the tourism industry.

We will remember that we are guests.  We support respectful visitor-host interactions that foster responsible tourism practices, benefiting the well-being of local cultures, the environment and the economy.  

Summit Partners sign the pledge as part of their sponsorship agreement and share their organization's commitment to action, both during and beyond the Summit.
