The noise around Travel Better continues to grow and the Tourism Declares movement is gaining traction. But what is it and how does it inform and influence travel providers and sellers?  As a founding member of Tourism Declares and a long-time B-Corp accredited business, why is it important to Intrepid? And how does this relate to the high appeal itineraries and trips they create, the partners the work with, and the loyalty of their client base? Join us for a discussion with one of the leading businesses in sustainable tourism, and some practical advice on how all players in tourism can respond to the demand for ‘Travel Better’ and what that means for the sellers of travel, and ultimately, their clients?
