Journey The World Sustainably

Since 1980, the United Nations World Tourism Organization has celebrated World Tourism Day on 27 September. The day raises awareness on the effects of tourism within the international community on a social, cultural political and economical scale worldwide. This year’s celebration focuses on a serious issue at hand – sustainable tourism. Lonely Planet Asia speaks to Melissa Liow, the Assistant Head Sch of Business & Management at PSB Academy who recently wrote a robust paper on sustainable tourism to find out how travellers can do their part to contribute to this beneficial travel movement right now.
