Prince Harry wasted no time in getting back to business after returning to the U.K. for a final slew of engagements before stepping back as a senior royal.
Speaking to guests today at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, the Duke of Sussex—who made sure he was introduced to the audience—kicked off a series of discussions and workshops that will help the project, a key area of focus in his post-senior royal life, make choosing sustainable travel the norm for consumers.
“Based on our research, there is an increasing desire for these types of trips—and we want to make them a reality for everyone, but we can’t do it without your help. … I want to help create a platform where all of us concerned about these issues can work together, where competitors can unite and incentivize a positive systemic change.”
The industry-wide model would not only inform people of their carbon footprint but also how they could leave a more positive impact on the destinations they visit. And with an easy-to-understand system working across all platforms, this framework would also motivate all sectors of the industry to find new ways to be sustainable.
For Harry, the focus on the positive impacts sustainable tourism would make on a local level is especially important. Through his own travels, particularly in Botswana, he has seen how tourism doesn’t always benefit local communities.
