NATURE POSITIVE TRAVEL & TOURISM
Toolbox of Nature Positive Tourism Resources

Access the Toolbox document here

This document has been created by ANIMONDIAL in support of the WTTC ANIMONDIAL report on
“Nature Positive Travel & Tourism”  - Read the full report here

It provides the Travel & Tourism professional, keen to integrate a Nature Positive Tourism approach into their
business, with a toolbox of resources to aid the transition. The intention is that the Toolbox will be updated as and
when more resources become available.

The Toolbox includes a series of frameworks that demonstrate how the theory in the main report can be
applied practically, together with useful external resources, support services, and business case studies. For ease
of navigation, the content of this Toolbox is in sync with the Phases and Steps of the Nature Positive Tourism
Roadmap (Chapter 5 in the main report).

The Climate Toolkit for Museums, Gardens and Zoos

The Climate Toolkit is a collaborative opportunity for museums, gardens and zoos who want to learn how to aggressively address climate change within their own organizations and inspire the communities they serve to follow their lead.

Currently, the Climate Toolkit embraces thirty-one goals for addressing climate change within the categories of energy, food service, transportation, plastics, landscapes and horticulture, investments, visitors and research.

The Climate Toolkit’s goals are designed to align with both the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (as compared here) and the Project Drawdown Table of Solutions (as compared here).
