Offering a successful approach to create quality, benefits and satisfaction for all stakeholders in global tourism for the post-pandemic era
Developed on the base of decades of experience and the Positive Sustainability approach, Meaningful Tourism is the next step forward for destinations and service providers, a paradigm developed by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Georg Arlt, founder of the Meaningful Tourism Center
“Tourism will not bounce back but will leap forward into a new world.”
– Dr. Taleb Rifai, former Secretary General UNWTO
Positive Sustainability concentrates on the positive effects of sustainable development and on the alignment of interests between all stakeholders involved.
Meaningful Tourism is not about sacrifices and reductions, instead it offers ways to create benefits and satisfaction based on the specific interests of all involved: Guests, Hosts, Employees, Companies, Governments and the Environment.
Quality is bringing more gains than quantity for everybody including you. Let’s start the journey together.
