We believe that sustainability towards regeneration is essential for creating a better future for people, planet, place, and business. That’s why we created the Global Destination Sustainability Index (GDS-Index), a destination-level performance tool that measures, benchmarks, and improves the sustainability strategy and implementation of tourism and events destinations of participating destinations worldwide. Through our annual assessment of destination sustainability performances, we provide insights and trends into sustainable practices used to drive positive change in more sustainable communities and cities. 

For more detailed look at trends in tourism and case studies, please download the report.
