[ tourism to-be ]

Joined together at the time of the World Travel Market in London, a hundred ministers and representatives of the countries of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) approved a declaration recognizing the role of tourism industry in the phenomenon of the planet warming and proposed some tracks to cure it.

Among the tracks proposed, the members of the WTO evoked the increased use of renewable energies, and the introduction of mechanisms allowing the travellers to compensate for their greenhouse gases emission. The replacement of the old fleets of the airline companies by models which consume less fuel could also help to limit the gas emissions to greenhouse effect.

All the ministers are in accord… it is time to act and the earlier we will act, the less it will cost us.
