The International Climate & Tourism Partners (ICTP) and SUNx Malta at the moment are making ready for the KISS 2023/24 New Year.
The International Climate & Tourism Partners (ICTP) beneath the management of Brussels-based Professor Geoffrey Lipman, along with SUNx Malta are already making ready for New Year 2023/2024.
SUNx and ICTP are about to launch the New Year’s KISS fund, and are calling on Travel and Tourism Countries and Cities, and in addition vacationers for assist.
KISS stands for Keep it Simple Stupid.
Professor Lipman explains: ” All we wish is for each Country and City that has a New Year’s Fireworks Show to present 5% of subsequent yr’s finances for fireworks to a fund for Climate Friendly Travel Scholarships. This fund will profit younger graduates from the World’s poorest international locations.”
“I got this idea watching the fireworks to start the New Year in New Zealand.,” Prof. Lipman explains. “I’m pondering that is going to occur in so many developed international locations around the globe. I remembered the large fireworks welcoming tourism ministers and delegates to the WTTC summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia final month.
“If a tiny share may make such a distinction to the world’s poorest international locations – particularly if used to construct the subsequent era of leaders.
“We will call on the World Tourism Community to support this and target the Heads of State that will attend the 5th United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC5) in Doha, Qatar on March 5-9 to endorse the idea.”
Over 5 days of the LDC5 Conference in Doha, world leaders will collect with the personal sector, civil society, parliamentarians, and younger folks to advance new concepts, elevate new pledges of assist, and spur supply on agreed commitments, by the Doha Programme of Action. At the Conference, it’s anticipated that particular initiatives and concrete deliverables will likely be introduced that can handle LDC-specific challenges.
Lipman continued: “We will present Scholarships at ITS in Malta for these Students for our Climate Friendly Travel Diploma
“Travelers will join our Climate Friendly Travel Club and 10% of the annual fee will be put into the fund. They will get a unique carbon compensation initiative plus a clean and green rewards program.”
The International Climate & Tourism Partners (ICTP) is an initiative beneath the World Tourism Network (WTN) with tourism stakeholders in 129 international locations as members.
WTN chairman Juergen Steinmetz stated: “We’re excited to team up with Geoffrey and SunX to support such an initiative. KISS New Year 2024!”
