Why??Why??
Breakdown or Breakthrough?
Tourism is the biggest connecting activity on the planet
Travel & Tourism has a unique role to play in helping
us breakthrough
Tourism will either be part of the solution or part of the problem

Industrial Tourism Grew Up In the Age of the Automobile &
Mass Everything
It borrowed its operating model from manufacturing

Mass Industrial Tourism Hangs on the Edge
Tourism now supports 1 billion international trips a year
It can produce income, economic growth, jobs, foreign exchange, conserve wildlife, preserve cultures..but it doesn’t always
Are we at a tipping point?
Metaphorically speaking, we’re about to experience a tourism tsunami + galeforce winds + earthquake
Will the tourism capsule hold out?
![Page 21: Presentation on Conscious Travel to Ministry of Tourism, Ecuador](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55548accb4c90548358b535b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mass Industrial Tourism Hangs on the Edge
Industrial tourism is producing diminishing returns for nearly everybody
This graph shows the fate of individual destinations - could it apply to industrial tourism as a whole?
If yields decline industrial tourism can only succeed by growing in volume
Are we at the inflection point?
![Page 22: Presentation on Conscious Travel to Ministry of Tourism, Ecuador](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55548accb4c90548358b535b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Can we handle another 400 million tourists in just 8 years?

Does Industrial Tourism work for Providers?
•declining margins,•greater income volatility,•increased risk,•more regulation,•higher input costs (energy, food, supplies),•disengaged employees, •more complexity - especially marketing, and•often more demanding guests
Do any of these issues apply to you?
![Page 24: Presentation on Conscious Travel to Ministry of Tourism, Ecuador](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55548accb4c90548358b535b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Is this you?
in short, I bet many of you are working harder than ever before and making less return.
Do you ever feel like the hamster on his treadmill?

A Mindset Shift Is Essential
![Page 26: Presentation on Conscious Travel to Ministry of Tourism, Ecuador](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/55548accb4c90548358b535b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
A worldview or mindset acts like a lens
These lenses are made up of the values beliefs and assumptions that we use to make sense of our world
Many are changing their lenses & waking up - becoming conscious
We’re often not aware of our lenses - live in a trance
They are very powerful
When the lenses change, everything else changes

•many customers are thinking differently
•emergence of the conscience consumer
•On average just under 50% of consumers prefer to buy from responsible companies
•In South America that average is 75%
•In Australia - 35%
Mindsets Are Already Shifting

Tourism Through an Industrial Lens
Guests are segments to be targeted and the prize is share of wallet
Both parties (consumer and provider) attempt to win at the cost of the other. Adversarial
Guests seek to get the best or cheapest deal; producers try to maintain their marginRugged independence + materialism creates a mindset of exploitation - animals, landscapes, plants are resources, then products that can be used to produce profitThe Industry is fragmented - each provider looks after his piece of the guest experience and larger agencies are divided into functional silos.
Disconnect from nature - it’s the economy, stupid! Lack of appreciation of limits or consequences.
The tourism industry resists paying for the ecosystem services it has enjoyed for free in the past

In the same way that cells combine to form different organs of the body, so will the collective output of these cells combine to create a new organic, ecological form of
tourism -
one that is environmentally sustainable, socially just and
spiritually fulfilling
