The COVID 19 Pandemic has set back sustainability by many years of effort. The Tourism Industry is one of the worst-hit and countries are working to revive it. During this revival, it is important that sustainability is ensured simultaneously with development. This workshop will inform participants about the importance of sustainable tourism, how they can help as tourists/ citizens to foster sustainability in their communities. The workshop will highlight the actions taken by UN bodies, governments in this direction and also hint at recommendations for the future. This topic will be linked to the various SDGs and inspire action towards it. This workshop will encourage participants to take part in the 100k Deeds Challenge. There will be audience interaction activities as well as a Q/A session.
