Event Description

Impact Travel Alliance is coming to Washington State!

On March 27, we will introduce Impact Travel of Greater Seattle Hub and its mission to tourism officials and community leaders, and engage in conversations with three panelists who will share how their respective organizations are using the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) as a framework to tackle community and global challenges. Through education, advocacy and community-building around sustainable tourism, the ITA-GS Hub will be one of the 30 Impact Travel Alliance Hubs worldwide, helping to make a positive impact on our world through travel.

Following this event, the Impact Travel of Greater Seattle (ITA-GS) will develop community interest groups that unite Greater Seattle’s tourism industry (hotels, restaurants, shops, tour operators, etc.) and community leaders in support of local initiatives that strengthen communities through sustainable cities, quality education and job creation in Washington State.
