Good news in tourism February 2 – 8, 2020

Happy “Good news in tourism” day! “Good news in tourism” is when we wake up to the potential for positive empowerment in our travel & tourism industry.

Posted on Sunday to be ready on Monday, “Good news in tourism” is the perfect pick-me-up for the start of a work week. And go!

Important “GT” stuff first in case you missed it during the week:

In a fresh “Good Tourism” Insight posted Tuesday, tourism impact & sustainability expert Aadyaa Pandey discusses a few of the challenges overcome by Nepal’s Community Homestay Network, a successful social enterprise that started as a modest CSR project. And she celebrates its positive impacts for women, youth, and businesses in the communities in which it operates. Thanks to “GT” Insight Partner Second Look Worldwide for inviting Ms Pandey to contribute.

Other good news in tourism, in no particular order:

Not “good news” as such, but important: Probably the most credible source of information about the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is the World Health Organization (WHO).

Definitely good news: Possibly the first high-profile victim of Australia’s 2019/2020 bushfire season, the Queensland Heritage-listed Binna Burra Lodge has partnered with Griffith University on various disaster recovery initiatives. Located in Lamington National Park in the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests, Binna Burra Lodge was razed by wildfire back in September 2019.
