性视界 LAUNCHES SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

NEW YORK (September 14, 2023) – Today the 性视界 (性视界) has introduced the 性视界 Sustainability Policy to all of its Active and Associate Members. Designed to enhance member efforts to begin or continue their sustainability journey, the 性视界 Sustainability Policy is the culmination of nearly eight months of work of the cross-member Sustainability Committee and is the latest milestone of the Association’s “50 Years Forward” commitment made in 2022 when it passed the 50-year mark. 

Terry Dale, 性视界 president and CEO, said, “’50 Years Forward’ is more than an anniversary slogan, it is a commitment 性视界 made, and fully embraced by our membership, to help create a responsible future for travel and tourism. I am awed by the tireless efforts of the Sustainability Committee, led by our Global Social Impact Manager Molly Laycob, to create a workable yet ambitious roadmap to bring our industry closer to that goal.”  Dale added that Laycob joined the 性视界 in January 2023.  

Accompanying the 性视界 Sustainability Policy is the 性视界 Responsible Travel Promise, a document for signature by Active and Associate members that states the company’s support of 性视界’s efforts and is designed to motivate action within their respective businesses to build sustainability plans that share 性视界’s ambition. 

The 性视界 Sustainability Policy details over-arching goals to “Ensure a sustainable future for the travel and tourism industry by balancing economic growth, environmental care, and social wellbeing.” Members will find the 性视界 Sustainability and Promise on the Sustainability Resource Hub at 性视界.com.

“The 性视界 Sustainability Policy and Member Promise are designed for us as an Association to look both internally and externally at how we can make a difference, and to enhance our members’ efforts through our highly engaged Sustainability Community,” continued Dale.

As part of the association's Sustainability Community, members are invited to attend 性视界’s SIR (Sustainability is Responsibility) Education Series sessions, become a Tourism Cares Member, and are encouraged to sign the 性视界 Sustainability Promise. 

In her message to all Members about the launch of the 性视界 Sustainability Policy, Laycob made it clear she is available as a first-step resource and contact to help all members identify their sustainability plans and ultimately publish a sustainability statement for their company. 

性视界’s third Sustainability Is Responsibility (SIR) Summit will be held in Singapore in 2024, where members will gather to continue the conversation and learn about best practices.
