Climate Action - Collective Responsibility:  Join the adventure travel community at WTM London for the ATTA’s annual AdventureConnect event delivered in partnership with Peru and APL Media at 4:30pm in Americas Inspiration Zone – LA570. Building upon the success of its September 2019 Adventure Travel World Summit in Gothenburg, Sweden, the ATTA has increased its commitment and accountability to accelerate climate actions for its own operations and to enable and encourage its global community of key stakeholders to do the same.  During AdventureConnect, Gabi Stowell, Regional Director Latin America, will:
  • Share outputs from the ATTA’s 20 September Climate Action Leadership Studio
  • Offer insights into climate education actions being developed and delivered for operators, guides and travelers
  • Address how the ATTA is tackling organizational accountability as well as how it is enabling direct action for the industry
Participants also will have the chance to engage in ATTA’s signature social networking activities which often lead to productive collaboration, business development, and strengthening of networks. Beverages and light hors d’oeuvres will be available to enjoy, courtesy of Peru and APL Media. The ATTA team, represented by Manal Kelig, Executive Director, MENA Region, will deliver a session on Destination-Smart For a Healthy Future in Adventure Travel. They will be accompanied by Dr. Taleb Rifai, ATTA Special Advisor and Raki Phillips, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA). The session will take place on 4 November at 1pm in MENA/ Africa Inspiration Zone. More information can be found here
