Sustainable tourism
European travellers seek new destinations
Even though the tourism industry has been hit harder than any other sector by the Covid19 pandemic, a light is beginning to appear at the end of the tunnel. Those who launch the right offer for European visitors have the opportunity to quickly leave the crisis behind. IPD is here to assist.
Resilience, reliability and responsible tourism in the destination are becoming increasingly important factors which European tourists consider when choosing their travel destinations. Tour operators are aware of this and therefore preferably choose to work with partners which meet these criteria.
If you offer unique travel experiences in one of the IPD partner countries - Ecuador, Tunisia, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Uzbekistan - and have environmentally friendly and socially responsible aspects in mind, IPD can provide you with considerable support in accessing the European market.
