At COP29, the Pacific Tourism Organisation advocates for climate resilience, emphasizing the critical role of tourism in preserving the Pacific’s natural and cultural heritage. The organization highlights the urgent need for climate action, particularly in Small Island Developing States, where the impacts of climate change are felt most acutely.
Tourism is seen as a vital sector that can contribute to sustainable development while also being vulnerable to climate-related challenges. The Pacific Tourism Organisation is urging stakeholders to adopt low-emission practices to protect the region's unique environment and support local communities.
By promoting sustainable tourism initiatives, the Pacific region aims to enhance its resilience against climate change, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy its rich cultural and natural assets. The call for action at COP29 underscores the importance of collaboration among governments, businesses, and communities to achieve a sustainable future for Pacific tourism.
