Our focus topics
The Futouris members developed the key themes presented below together. They serve as focus topics for collaboration at Futouris as well as guiding themes for project development.
Together we can sustainably change the future of travel.
Tourism faces major challenges, from climate change to social inequalities in travel destinations. Futouris brings companies, organizations, and destinations together to develop and implement sustainable solutions. Because only together can we shape travel in a way that continues to do justice to people, nature, and culture worldwide.
