GLOBAL TOURISM PLASTICS INITIATIVE - TOUR OPERATORS, TRAVEL AGENTS, ONLINE TRAVEL AGENTS AND PLATFORMS SIGNATORY PACK

The Global Tourism Plastics Initiative is led by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

Tourism companies and destinations have been making great strides towards reducing their environmental impact and operating in harmony with nature. Yet, taking action on plastics pollution and transitioning to circularity in the use of plastics is critical to increase sustainability in the sector.  The problem of plastic pollution in tourism is too big for any single organisation to fix on its own. To match the scale of the problem, changes need to take place across the whole tourism value chain. Therefore, tourism stakeholders around the world are working together and taking a systemic approach through the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative.
