| dc.description.abstract | This report is a synthesis of the 2024 Climate Week NYC session called "Climate Action Needs to Drive Destination Planning, Why Isn’t It?," which was convened as part of the Sustainability in Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality Roundtable organized and hosted by Cornell University’s Center for Hospitality Research and the Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise. This session examined the persistent gap between high-level climate policy discourse and evidence-based implementation by national tourism offices (NTOs) and destination marketing and management organizations (DMOs). Although climate change represents an existential challenge to the long-term viability of the global tourism sector,1 the integration of climate into destination planning remains sporadic and underdeveloped.2 Session participants invited included DMO leaders, travel and tourism association and NGO CEOs, private sector sustainability directors, protected area leadership, and academic and consulting specialists in sustainable tourism. | |
