ONE PLANET VISION FOR A RESPONSIBLE RECOVERY OF THE TOURISM SECTORONE PLANET VISION FOR A RESPONSIBLERECOVERY OF THE TOURISM SECTORThe One Planet Vision for a ResponsibleRecovery of the Tourism Sector builds onthe UNWTO Global Guidelines to RestartTourism1 released by the Global Tourism CrisisCommittee on 28 May 2020 with the objectiveto support tourism to emerge stronger andmore sustainable from the COVID-19 crisis.The vision is shared by the members of theOne Planet Sustainable Tourism Programmeand partner organizations.It calls for a responsible recovery of thetourism sector from the COVID-19 crisis. Arecovery which is founded on sustainability,to build back better, and which thereforecan underpin the resilience of the tourismsector.The COVID-19 global pandemic has causedunprecedented socio-economic impactsand, at the same time, raised our awarenessof the role sustainability needs to play inour everyday life and economic activities.Tourism, one of the hardest hit economicsectors, might face a decline of 58% and 78%in international tourist arrivals during 2020and has 100 to 120 million direct tourismjobs at risk.2 There are additional impacts,which are still difficult to quantify, such as123pollution or threats to the conservation ofwildlife and biodiversity, all directly linked totourism.As of 18 May 2020, all destinationsworldwide are observing travel restrictionsfor international tourism. Out of all 217destinations, 163 (75%) have placed acomplete stop on international tourism and,for the time being, only seven destinationshave started to ease travel restrictions.3 Thissituation makes it difficult to foresee whentourism operations will fully resume. It isnevertheless predictable that changes to theway tourism operated will be needed to exita crisis of this magnitude.In line with the priorities outlined in theUNWTO Global Guidelines to RestartTourism, this vision aims to support thedevelopment and implementation ofrecovery plans which contribute to theSustainable Development Goals (SDGs)and the Paris Agreement.As such, the vision recommends six linesof action to guide a responsible tourismrecovery for people, planet and prosperity,namely public health, social strictionsONE PLANET VISION FOR A RESPONSIBLE RECOVERY OF THE TOURISM SECTORCOPYRIGHT: 2020, WORLD TOURISM ORGANIZATION (UNWTO)

It represents an opportunity toaccelerate sustainable consumption andproduction patterns and build back bettertourism.of destinations, consumption of naturalresources and impacts on climate change.Addressing all these issues must be atthe heart of a responsible recovery of thetourism sector, as the resilience of tourismwill depend on the sector’s ability tobalance the needs of people, planet andprosperity.Generating the necessary evidence tosupport decision making and effective actiontowards sustainability in tourism is now morepressing than ever.As governments and the private sectorare now embarking on a path for recovery,there is no better timing for placingfuture generations at the centre of theaction. This implies long-term and holisticthinking with regards to the challengesof our world and thus connects with theneed to transition to a more sustainabletourism model based on social inclusionand the restoration and protection of theenvironment. Our health and wellbeingdepend on it.The tourism sector registered continuousgrowth in the past decade, creatingsignificant benefits in terms of socioeconomic development and employment,which are now at stake.

Thevision also encourages tourism businesses torevisit operational processes along the linesof action below to enhance competitiveness.NGOs, International Organizations, academiaand the civil society can support and assistboth governments and the private sector bysharing their knowledge, tools and supportingthe development of best practices.#ResponsibleRecovery for PeoplePublic health:The COVID-19 pandemic has shown thestrong connection between tourism andpublic health. The tourism sector hasproven to be of assistance by putting itsinfrastructure, supply chains and staff at theservice of public health and humanitarianaid. Creating long lasting synergies betweenpublic health and tourism is an investment inpreparedness in relation to future crises andcontributes to confidence and trust. Integrate epidemiological indicatorsin tourism: Epidemiological indicatorsare in the process of being connectedwith tourism monitoring mechanisms.Strengthening monitoring mechanismsin this direction has potential to lead theway for tourism to recover as an economicactivity, ensuring that the easing oftravel restrictions or introduction ofnew measures and policies is based onevidence. If well planned and managed,tourism can make a responsiblecontribution to the health and wellbeingof those working in the sector and localpeople. Connect hygiene with sustainability:Tailored guidance and protocols fortourism operations to resume timelyand safely shall reflect the outcomesof collaboration between tourismstakeholders, the scientific communityand health authorities. It is essential thatsuch protocols integrate sustainabilityprinciples as much as possible, toprevent decision-making and changesin processes in connection to hygienewhich could have harmful effects on theenvironment without measurable gainswith regards to health.

Restore trust through communication:To address the public health concerns oftourists, employees and host communitiesand restore trust, transparent andproactive communication on the measuresput in place and current developmentswithin businesses or destinations iskey. Destinations shall send clear andconsolidated messages to their sourcemarkets and adjust to their perceptionsand needs to regain visitor confidence,given the importance and currentsensitivities towards public health.local communities and the livelihoodsof youth, women, rural population,indigenous and other vulnerable groups,including those in the informal economy.Therefore, targeted support whichcaters for their needs should allow amore inclusive recovery.7 The principlesof decent work8 and safety at a workplace should guide measures aiming atenhancing job security in tourism and atproviding formal employment. Channel long-term support to smalland medium enterprises: Targetedsupport beyond initial relief measureswill be needed for small and mediumenterprises to continue operating9 andto ensure that destinations maintain adiverse and attractive offer.

Communitiesmay need business mentorship fortheir local entrepreneurship venturesto improve their supply chain inclusion.Furthermore, stronger local value chainsbring social and economic benefits tolocal communities, reduce dependenceon foreign suppliers while supporting thecircularity of tourism operations.monitoring mechanisms that wouldregularly capture such contribution andthe value of ecosystem services throughtourism at destination level would enablethe tourism sector to capitalize on itsconservation efforts. Support conservation efforts throughtourism: In destinations where humanwildlife conflicts are increasing astourism is on hold, the risk of poaching,encroachment or overexploitation arealso growing, directly threatening the veryassets upon which the tourism sector needsto be rebuilt. The role of tourism to sustainconservation and fight illegal wildlife tradeshould therefore be acknowledged inrecovery plans and support made availablefor conservation efforts by tourismstakeholders to continue. Tourism alsocontributes to the preservation of culturaland historical sites. Invest in nature-based solutions forsustainabletourism:Nature-basedsolutions have potential to drive innovationin tourism towards sustainability and,besides mitigating the environmentalimpacts of tourism activity, result in bettermanagement of scarce natural resourcessuch as water, coral reefs, wetlands,mangroves, coastlines and foster disasterresilience both in urban and naturalenvironments12. Investments in naturebased solutions also respond well to theexpectations of a growing demand forexperiences in nature.#ResponsibleRecovery for PlanetBiodiversity conservation:The COVID-19 pandemic has raised awareness of the importance of a healthy environment as a natural barrier for futurepandemics, notably in the case of zoonoticdiseases. A healthy environment is also directly connected with the competitiveness ofthe tourism sector and in many destinationsconservation efforts largely depend on tourism revenue. Supporting such conservationefforts can enable a greener recovery.11 Capture the value of conservationthrough tourism: While the reduction ofeconomic activity during COVID-19 has tosome extent reduced the pressures on theenvironment, there are many destinationswhere the conservation of marine andterrestrial ecosystems, protected areasand species largely depends on tourismrevenue and operators. uploads/2020/06/Hockings-et-al-10.2305-IUCN.CH .2020.PARKS-26-1MH.en s/thinknature handbook final print 0.pdfONE PLANET VISION FOR A RESPONSIBLE RECOVERY OF THE TOURISM SECTORCOPYRIGHT: 2020, WORLD TOURISM ORGANIZATION (UNWTO)

Monitor and report CO2 emissionsfrom tourism operations: Strengtheningthe measurement and disclosure of CO2emissions from tourism and promotingthe introduction of science-based targetsis necessary for the sector to effectivelycontribute to the implementation ofNationally Determined Contributionsto the Paris Agreement. Developingmonitoring mechanisms that would allowdestinations to understand CO2 emissionsacross the value chain and the CO2implications of investments has potentialto trigger a shift towards climate-awaretourism development. Accelerate the decarbonization oftourism operations: Enhancing mitigationefforts in the tourism sector, includingthrough investments to develop lowcarbon transportation options and greenerinfrastructure, is key to resilience.

Additionally, a growingnumber of consumers are demanding thatthe tourism sector takes responsibility forits CO2 emissions and would like to takepart of these efforts.15 Small and mediumsized businesses would need technicaland financial support to accomplish suchtransition.

Mainstreaming food lossand waste reduction in tourism haspotential to support the recovery of smalland large businesses as it presents anopportunity to reduce costs and improveefficiency while curbing CO2 emissions.Circular economy:The COVID-19 crisis has raised awareness ofthe importance of local supply chains and theneed to rethink how goods and services areproduced and consumed, both key elementsof a circular economy. Integrating circularityand further advancing resource efficiency inthe tourism value chain represent an opportunity for the tourism sector to embrace a sustainable and resilient growth pathway. Invest in transforming tourism valuechains: Circular economy processessuch as reducing and reusing (userto user), repairing, refurbishing andremanufacturing (user to business) andrecycling and repurposing (business tobusiness) can reduce economic leakagesin the tourism value chain as well as wasteand pollution.17 Supporting the integrationof circular economy processes in tourismcan promote innovation, the creation ofnew sustainable business models, addedvalue for customers and local economicdevelopment. The efficient use of energyand water are essential measures. Shift towards a circularity of plastics intourism: Addressing plastic waste andpollution can be a catalyser of circularityin tourism through the elimination ofunnecessary plastics, integrating reusemodels safely, engaging the value chainto advance the use of recyclable andcompostable plastics and collaboratingto increase recycling rates for plastics.18Supporting the shift towards a circularity ofplastics can reduce marine litter and plasticpollution, preserve the attractiveness ofdestinations and trigger multi-stakeholderprecompetitive collaboration on topicssuch as waste management at destinationlevel, which in turn can have a positiveeffect on health.Governance and finance:During the COVID-19 crisis, the exchange ofinformation across levels of government, theprivate sector and internationally has beencrucial for decision making and managingthe pandemic.
