Sustainability Leaders Project

The word is out. Check out the interview in the Sustainability Leaders Project. Another proof, that the work we do as #GGuides is the right way to go. #GreenMicrophoneAward is mentioned too :)

Tour guides are often overlooked in the discussion about how we can promote and ensure a more sustainable tourism industry and responsible tourism practices. Maja Campelj of G-Guides in #Slovenia is on a mission to change this. In this interview she tells us why tourist guides are such an important part of the sustainable tourism “puzzle” and what is holding them back from living up to their full potential.

Maja also reflects on the state of sustainability in Slovenia and the need to match destination brand promises with the development and management of the actual tourism products and experiences which visitors will encounter.

Our interview with Maja Čampelj is part of a special series with Slovenian sustainable tourism change-makers, in collaboration with Feel Slovenia, the Slovenian Tourist Board.
