Eso fue la primera sesión participativa virtual del Movimiento Global de Sostenibilidad de Destinos (Global Destination Sustainability Movement - GDSM) en español para Latinoamérica y España.

On the 8th of July, we announced the launch of the Global Destination Sustainability Movement, a platform that will promote and develop the regenerative thinking and practices that will support destinations of the future.

As part of the GDS-Movement Launch Webinar, we had a special keynote with Ed Gillespie, our resident Futurist. He is an internationally acclaimed inspirational speaker, director of Greenpeace, and author of "Only Planet: Around the World Without Flying".

As part of the GDS-Movement launch we had a short, moderated panel discussion with destination representatives, during which they shared their most recent steps towards regeneration. Represented were Nantes, Flanders, and Sapporo.

n this, our 4th GDS-Index: Feeling the Pulse webinar, we announce the opening of the 2020 benchmark, alongside improved criteria, and a completely redesigned data portal (OMNI).
