OCEANS ARE PART OF THE ENTERTAINMENT AND THE SOLUTIONS

Most people know that oceans cover 70% of the Earth and they provide over 50% of the planet's oxygen. Many speak about plastic pollution and raising sea levels.

Few people know that over 30% of travel, leisure and recreation is linked to the ocean.

So, yes, oceans are part of the entertainment and the solution.

We have worked with over 30 data partners and sources to research the impact of travel to oceans.

The outcomes:
the POSITIVE OCEANS INDEX.

THE CONCEPT OF TRAVEL IS CHANGING...

Even now during lockdown and constantly changing restrictions we see a transformation in the way people perceive travel, leisure and recreation.

It has become obvious that travel or tourism is an integral part of leisure, recreation, education, livelihoods and the environment, yes, the environment.

Some may advocate “Stay at Home” and “Dream Now Travel Later”. But the reality is people have not stopped travelling They are just travelling differently.

Experiential, immersive, sustainable and regenerative travel have take center stage in the discussion.

So what type of traveller are you?
By the way, did you know it is World Tourism Day today?
