The 3rd Conference “Sustainable Tourism: Global Challenges and Discovering Russia” will take place October 28 through October 31, 2020, will once again be held at the Rosa Khutor mountain resort, as has become tradition, giving participants the opportunity to admire the autumnal gold of the Western Caucasus mountains.
Building on the achievements of the previous sessions, the Conference agenda will focus on practices and will shed light on issues related to drafting rules and standards for the sustainable development of the industry. These rules and standards would have to meet the needs of all players and help to gather business people, government officials, environmental organizations, and grassroots movements around the shared goal of raising the bar on quality in tourism and strengthening accountability for maintaining our natural legacy for generations to come.
At the 3rd Conference, discussion sessions will highlight the most critical issues faced by the industry and will allow the attendees to work together to explore solutions. Furthermore, the Conference agenda will have a regional focus, allowing the participants to showcase the best practices and specific challenges in the sustainable development of tourism for the different geographic zones of the world’s largest country.
The success of the Eco-Display Expo first launched at the 2nd Conference, demonstrated the need to offer attendees more ways to communicate their successes and showcase their products for partners and stakeholders. The Organizers will strive to give Conference guests and participants broad and easily accessible opportunities to make the best use of the Eco-Display Expo.
At the 3rd Conference we will spend more time discussing:
The Conference Organizers call upon all stakeholders who develop and lead initiatives in nature tourism; educational tourism; active travel (including for children and/or athletes); outdoor recreation; agricultural, culinary, ethnographic, or cultural tourism; or related areas, and offer them the Conference as a platform to showcase achievements, raise issues surrounding the sustainable development of the industry, and together look for solutions in the Conference’s cordial and constructive environment.
