The “Good Tourism” Blog has a new Event Partner: The Global Eco Asia-Pacific Tourism Conference 2020, which will take place December 1 – 3 in Margaret River, Western Australia. The organisers have pulled together an impressive list of keynote speakers befitting Ecotourism Australia’s premier event.

The towns of Bundaberg, Queensland and Coffs Harbour, New South Wales will also livestream Global Eco at local mini-conferences.

Malta will soon launch a new 10-year tourism strategy based on “competing for much smaller numbers of global travellers” and achieving “net zero carbon neutral”. The latter will likely be influenced by “GT” Partner SUNx — Strong Universal Network. SUNx has a strong presence in the Mediterranean island nation, including a partnership with the Institute of Tourism Studies in delivering the Climate Friendly Travel Diploma.
