Tourism and hospitality, one of the largest industries worldwide, currently faces many challenges, among them the responsibility to become more sustainable. When international tourists start returning to Cambodia, quality standards will be essential, and actors in the tourism and hospitality sector should start developing quality sustainable practices. As the awareness to make sustainable travel choices increases, seeking innovative principles for long-term sustainable solutions for the hospitality and tourism industry is of vital importance.
To stimulate a continuous stream of new ideas and best practices, we invite tourism and hospitality actors to join this short specialization course in collaboration with the École d'Hôtellerie et de Tourisme Paul Dubrule (EHT), the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), and the German agency GIZ Regional Economic Development Program IV (GIZ RED IV).
The course explores the conceptual foundations of sustainable development and discusses existing challenges in the context of Cambodia.
On behalf of FEE and Green Key, Isabel Lissner, International Green Key Coordinator, will facilitate one out of three modules of this course, focusing on the concept of sustainability, sustainable tourism and eco-certification in tourism and hospitality.
“We very much welcomed this opportunity as it is part of Green Key’s strategy to collaborate with educational institutions to integrate sustainable tourism and eco-certification in the curricula of hospitality schools and universities. In this way, we can ensure that the new generation of tourism professionals is well aware of how to build a sustainable industry that benefits the guests, host community and our planet”.
