Description

Europe's big metropoles are hubs for big business, culture and history. Naturally, they attract large groups of tourists throughout the entire year, arriving in their droves for both business and pleasure. However, how sustainable is growing tourism on such a large scale? In this session we will have 3 representatives from 3 of the most popular city destinations across the continent on stage to share their sustainability stories. How has their city has been managing the issue around tourism and sustainability? How could this trickle down to affect the meeting and events industry? Find out as Paris, Barcelona, London and more weigh in on this powerful and pertinent topic.
