In this dynamic webinar, we explore the power of sustainability storytelling and its vital role in destination marketing.
Our expert speakers focus on how Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) and Convention Bureaus (CVBs) can authentically and confidently communicate their sustainability efforts, building trust, credibility, and driving business growth through impactful campaigns.
We explore the fundamentals of powerful marketing and storytelling, guiding participants on how to align their destination’s sustainability story with its values, vision, and data while avoiding greenwashing.
Guy Bigwood, CEO of GDS-Movement, shares insights on how to ensure regulatory compliance and positioning to stay ahead of market trends.
Betsy Reed helps participants discover the heart of their destination’s story, using authentic, real-world examples that show how to connect deeply with audiences.
Jess Henson provides hands-on, practical advice, showing how to transform sustainability data into compelling campaigns that build trust and convert leads into results.
Key takeaways include:
- Understanding how to tell an authentic sustainability story that builds trust and credibility.
- Practical tools for transforming sustainability data into powerful marketing campaigns.

    While I appreciate the ideas about regeneration and the needed paradigm shift, what remains unanswered for me is how could tourism be something other than conflicting/ irreconcilable with regeneration? I love travel….but I have a hunch that for most of us on the planet, we shouldn’t be going very far from home base to scratch that itch. I believe that itch …. We need to unpack it. Why is travel important to us? What does it do for us? Can we find new ways to do those things without consuming so much energy? That energy consumed will not be “regenerated” in our lifetime unless we walk or bike or sail for our travel, or else we discover a new abundant and clean source of energy.

    'Yes yes yes!' comes to mind with every slides that passes. Regeneration is taking good and growing more good from it. Not washing off bad and making it look less bad. Regeneration at this stage is a nursery which when well attended to will bear beautiful fruit tomorrow.
