How can the most sought after human economic activity on the planet transform itself for a cleaner, greener, fairer future?
How can the most sought after human economic activity on the planet transform itself for a cleaner, greener, fairer future?
That’s the basic question posed to 46 thought leaders – inside and outside the travel and tourism sector, from around the world, in the lead-up to the Rio+20 Earth Summit – leaders who manufacture aircraft; campaign for civil society; explore futures; head governments, ministries, and international agencies; shape transport, trade, development, and capacity building policies; run airlines, hotels, trains, cruise ships, convention centers, and national parks; provide Internet information, as well as the software that runs it; teaches; trains; and the like. We focused their attention on the challenges that society faces, as well as the industry itself and on solutions. And we asked them to respond with crisp Time or Fortune-style essays that were long on vision and short on rhetoric; high on opportunity without shirking on the problems.
