The U.S. Tour Operators Association has introduced a sustainability policy designed to enhance member efforts to begin or continue their sustainability practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The USTOA Sustainability Policy outlines three pillars that define sustainability and details goals that balance economic growth, environmental care and social wellbeing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The policy was drafted after months of work by the organization’s Sustainability Committee, led by USTOA’s global social impact manager Molly Laycob.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Accompanying the policy is the USTOA Responsible Travel Promise, a document that USTOA members can sign to support USTOA’s efforts. It is designed to motivate action to build sustainability plans that share USTOA’s ambition.<\/p>\n
In addition to the USTOA’s new policy and pledge letter, the company is gearing up to host its third annual Sustainability Is Responsibility Summit in Singapore in 2024.<\/p>\n
