Perthshire Talks Responsible Tourism

Inclusive tourism

Did you know…? 

• one in four people in the UK have a disability or health impairment 
• £274 billion is the spending power of disabled people to the UK economy 
• senior travellers have a 35% higher spend on leisure and hospitality than other age groups 

Inclusive tourism is about providing a warm welcome and quality experience for all our visitors, without barriers - a visit that’s memorable for all the right reasons. 

These webinars promoted the value and importance of inclusive tourism, and helping businesses improve the experience they offer to customers who may need specific adjustments or facilities. These include disabled people, senior travellers, families with young children, and those with a temporary or long-term medical condition.

Climate action 

Tourism is a clear contributor to the global climate crisis, but also stands to suffer its consequences.

It’s now more important than ever for tourism to step up and show how the sector can be part of the solution. 

Climate change and extreme weather events have already harmed many aspects of our natural environment. And these adverse effects trickle down to our communities and businesses as well. 

Our climate action webinars guided buisnesses through our climate impact guide highlighting six quick actions for businesses starting out on their climate action journey.

For those already on that climate action journey, we also explored the different climate action themes and what they mean for your business.
