Within the travel and tourism industry there exists substantial resources of practical and theoretical knowledge on sustainable tourism and how its application can achieve PATA's mission. Every industry sector and niche, from aviation to "voluntourism", is important to this aim. Hundreds of subject areas and specialisations, from biodiversity to climate change and energy consumption, can help the travel and tourism industry achieve sustainability.

The challenge is to collectively harness that knowledge and overcome the tyranny of distance, time and cost involved with international meetings, hence the establishment of this electronic clearing house for ALL STAKEHOLDERS in travel and tourism to share information relating to sustainable tourism.

You are a stakeholder. Please join and contribute to PATA's Sustainable Tourism Wiki.
