WCC 2020 Res 130 - Activity Report

WCPA's Tourism and Protected Areas Specialist Group
(TAPAS) supports the oversight of sustainable tourism
in protected area systems and helps develop innovative
approaches that recognise the fundamental role of
nature in the travel and tourism industry. A key milestone
in 2024 was TAPAS' advocacy for the adoption of WCC
2020 Resolution 130, which underscores the critical role
of sustainable tourism in biodiversity conservation and
strengthening community resilience. TAPAS has also
played a pivotal role in supporting the implementation
of the Nature Positive Travel and Tourism framework
in collaboration with the United Nations World Tourism
Organization, World Travel & Tourism Council, and
Sustainable Hospitality Alliance.
