We help destinations and tourism businesses shape a future for tourism that responds to climate risk, strengthens community outcomes and supports long-term success.
We work with destination governments, national tourism organisations, destination management organisations and tourism businesses looking for practical ways to respond to climate risk and strengthen outcomes for communities.
Alongside our planning and strategy support, we also offer:
- Training programmes to build knowledge and capability across your team
- Impact Insights briefings to support decision-making with trusted evidence and analysis
- Expert speakers and facilitation to support events, leadership discussions and stakeholder engagement
Why work with us
We draw on two decades of experience working with destinations and tourism companies. Acting as an extension of your team, we bring global expertise, local insight and facilitation. Our support helps you build confidence, enhance your reputation, demonstrate progress and attract investment.
We have worked with more than 30 destinations worldwide, as well as leading travel companies, supporting climate action planning, stewardship strategies and practical tools for change.
By working with us, you are also contributing to our wider mission to transform tourism at scale for people and the planet.
For destinations
Our tailored support empowers you to align your goals with community and environmental priorities. We help bring the right people together, navigate complex challenges and turn ambition/TF into practical solutions.
Climate action planning: Our expert team supports you through every stage, from stakeholder engagement to defining targets and priorities. Our work is aligned with the Glasgow Declaration and science-based targets.
Stewardship and resilience: We help you create long-term value through integrated stewardship and sustainability strategies.
Tools and frameworks: We apply specially-developed frameworks and profiling tools that help destinations maximise the value of tourism for their community, identify priority risks and take action.
Destination sustainability scan: To kick-start action, we offer a high-level scan to highlight key risks and opportunities. This shows where tourism can support local solutions, strengthen resilience and contribute to broader community and environmental goals.
“Without The Travel Foundation’s invaluable insight, tools, and facilitation, we would not have achieved such a robust and forward-looking plan. This partnership exemplifies what true climate collaboration can look like: science-based, participatory, and globally relevant.”
Liisa Kokkarinen, Head of Sustainable Development, Visit Finland
For tourism businesses
We support tour operators, hotel groups and other travel companies to embed sustainability and resilience into strategies and value chains.
Strategic alignment: We help align business goals with climate and community priorities, focusing on issues such as emissions, supply chains and fair benefit sharing.
Climate action: We provide expert coaching and facilitation to help you measure, reduce and manage impacts, and communicate progress credibly.
Impact and risk assessments: We help identify key risks and opportunities in your operations and supply chains so you can focus action where it matters most.
“Thanks to the entire Travel Foundation for its assistance this year on helping us think about the future of our programming. This was extremely valuable and we have what we need to navigate integration of these ideas into our destination development work.”
Andrew Grossmann, Director of Destination Development at the Colorado Tourism Office
