The Tourism Shala

Join us on Saturday, September 21, 2019, for our first event in Delhi focused on increasing sustainability in the travel industry in India.

The goals of the event include:

Break the silos between travel organizations in India and unify the industry (focusing on collaboration across the sector) by bringing together various large and small travel organizations.

Create solutions and actionable steps for organizations to take by creating a white paper during the hackathon portion of the event

Create standards and accountability for sustainability in the industry from all participating organizations

Amplify the importance of sustainability in the industry (economic, social and environmental)

Build a network to keep all tourism dollars inside India

This event is YOUR opportunity to make travel what you want it to be. Through engaging presentations, discussions and an industry hackathon, we will develop actions that can be taken to increase sustainability in travel and hold organizations accountable.
