I’m a sustainability expert with over 15 years of experience in international development and policy. My current work focuses on building partnerships between development activities and the private sector. Often this entails helping companies envision how to incorporate sustainability into their core business model and also making a business case for development programming.
I’m interested in exploring more how this works in travel and tourism specifically, as I see this sector as having unique potential to drive inclusive growth if harnessed effectively. I welcome any and all conversations about making the business case for sustainable tourism and want to hear about models where governments, development actors, and industry players have successfully coordinated to make this happen.
I want to convene governments, donors, and travel industry stakeholders around sustainability to promote inclusive economic growth.
