After an interactive discussion at the Young Change Makers Inter-university Students Seminar on Sustainable Tourism Development held at the Technical University of Kenya themed: Climate Change Data, Tourism and Sustainability. Is climate action a priority for Tourism?

@citizentvkenya that's a blunt view, social media posts don't come with deadlines and fines, and for your information, it's the person's social media account.... So, the pics still remains theirs.

@GonaJudy @UNWTO @UNDP @SDGs_IDBG @ConnectSDGs @GTSAfrica @STTAKenya For fragmented industry like tourism, full transformation imply cooperation by entire value chain including businesses that don't view themselves as tourism businesses. A failure means firms easily revert to status quo or make piecemeal responsible actions.

@STTAKenya @GonaJudy @GTSAfrica @KipkorirMullato @idealistatheart @addey_keifer @KaseseTourism @EstherMuthee5 @marion_vugutsa @Mainajamesk AQ4: It should make a focus shift from merely targeting visitors to targeting visitors for the right behavior or purpose.

[Paul Olola @olola_paul]

@KipkorirMullato @STTAKenya @GonaJudy @GTSAfrica @idealistatheart @addey_keifer @KaseseTourism @EstherMuthee5 @marion_vugutsa @Mainajamesk They should be more transparent in their contribution towards sustainability and what they would want their customers to do so as to achieve their green strategy

[Paul Olola @olola_paul]

@STTAKenya @GonaJudy @GTSAfrica @KipkorirMullato @idealistatheart @addey_keifer @KaseseTourism @EstherMuthee5 @marion_vugutsa @Mainajamesk AQ4: By shifting from only selling dreams and promises about 'paradise', to incorporating target conservation messages for visitors to be aware of prior to making a visit

[Paul Olola @olola_paul]

@STTAKenya @KaseseTourism If responsible tourism is about addressing issues, responsible tourism marketing should be about raising the issues

@EstherMuthee5 @STTAKenya @GTSAfrica @addey_keifer @KipkorirMullato @idealistatheart @queen_stiney_ @Mainajamesk @vugutsa_marion @jodhiambo4 @GonaJudy A case where tourism businesses and organizations do not want to ascribe to responsibility or blame tourists

[Paul Olola @olola_paul]

@STTAKenya @GTSAfrica @addey_keifer @KipkorirMullato @idealistatheart @queen_stiney_ @Mainajamesk @vugutsa_marion @jodhiambo4 @GonaJudy @The_Mboga Destinations should view tourism as a tool to address its development needs. Tourism Marketing Messages Should focus beyond merely TOURISM PROFITS, but also social and environmental issues that warrant tourists attention

@EstherMuthee5 @STTAKenya @GTSAfrica @LetsGoTravelKE @deemoraa1 @DominicWanjiru5 @queen_stiney_ @KipkorirMullato @vugutsa_marion @addey_keifer @jodhiambo4 Increasing use of ICTs has had an effect on Tourism Marketing Messages, visitors can share their experiences with potential visitors thereby adding a voice the real the destination story

[Paul Olola @olola_paul]

@idealistatheart @STTAKenya @GTSAfrica @LetsGoTravelKE @deemoraa1 @DominicWanjiru5 @queen_stiney_ @KipkorirMullato @vugutsa_marion @addey_keifer @jodhiambo4 The effect of tourism marketing messages is felt when visitors speak to each other in the home country "very beautiful and great place, I should visit it" but upon their arrival, some may raise queries like "why are people so poor? or why is it so littered?" Promise vs Reality

[Paul Olola @olola_paul]

@GTSAfrica @STTAKenya @LetsGoTravelKE @deemoraa1 @DominicWanjiru5 @queen_stiney_ @KipkorirMullato @vugutsa_marion @addey_keifer @jodhiambo4 The values of a tourism business represents the values of its customers, shareholders and employees, and may be blind to the values of the Host community and their environment which also serve as the attraction.

[Paul Olola @olola_paul]

@GTSAfrica @STTAKenya @LetsGoTravelKE @deemoraa1 @DominicWanjiru5 @queen_stiney_ @KipkorirMullato @vugutsa_marion @addey_keifer @jodhiambo4 However, their usage today has been mostly framed on PERSONAL BENEFIT, targeting the visitor experiences without touching on the ENVIRONMNETAL BENEFIT that seeks to uphold culture, pro-environmental or other important values held within the destination

@_itslu___ @idealistatheart @STTAKenya @GTSAfrica @LetsGoTravelKE @deemoraa1 @DominicWanjiru5 @queen_stiney_ @KipkorirMullato @vugutsa_marion @addey_keifer @jodhiambo4 Should communicate some important values of the people and their environment, whether it is culture, religion or wildlife, for visitors to respect and learn

[Paul Olola @olola_paul]

@OundahC @STTAKenya @GTSAfrica @LetsGoTravelKE @deemoraa1 @DominicWanjiru5 @queen_stiney_ @KipkorirMullato @vugutsa_marion @addey_keifer @jodhiambo4 They mostly depict the PROMISE, as in a way cropping out the REALITY which may require visitors to adjust to upon their visits
