PATA has become a signatory of the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, led by the United Nations Environment Programme and World Tourism Organization, in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
To further our commitments to GTPI, and in cooperation with the multi-stakeholder project TourLink, PATA created the Plastic Free Toolkit for Tour Operators: Your Guide To Reducing Single Use Plastic, available for download by our community. TourLink is supported by the EU funded SWITCH-Asia programme to promote sustainable and inclusive growth, contribute to the economic prosperity and poverty reduction in Asia and Central Asia and to a transition towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient and circular economy.
