Report details

details

Conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, the WTTC report, entitled "Circular Economy Learning Insights", outlines the benefits of adopting a circular economy model in the travel and tourism sector.

The report emphasises the need for sustainability by redesigning economic systems to minimise waste, increase reuse and regenerate natural systems. It highlights the sector's potential to enhance economic performance and resilience while addressing global challenges like climate change and resource depletion. The circular economy model promotes using materials as nutrients, maintaining them in the economy as long as possible and ultimately regenerating natural systems. The report champions innovative approaches and collaboration to transition towards a sustainable future.
