Importance:
This tool addresses the growing demand for transparency and authenticity in sustainability reporting. As consumers become more environmentally savvy, the ability to communicate sustainability initiatives effectively is emerging as a vital differentiator in the competitive tourism market.
Course Implementation:
Participants will engage with online resources offering guidelines on sustainability language. They will then apply these principles by rewriting sentences to reflect improved sustainability communication, particularly within the context of tourism and certifications. The tool includes practical exercises, allowing participants to compare their rewritten work with examples of more appropriate solutions. This hands-on approach ensures that learners not only understand the theory but also acquire practical skills for real-world application.
By the end of the course, participants will have developed the confidence and clarity to effectively articulate their organisation’s sustainability narratives, making them better equipped to lead with transparency and integrity in the tourism industry.
