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).

Transforming Tourism to Achieve Sustainable Accommodation & Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions in the Philippines

This is a roadmap to sustainable accommodation and MICE sectors in the Philippines, via resource efficient and low-carbon development.

Its vision is to enhance a globally recognized Tourism destination that showcases and protects the natural beauty of the Philippines, the hospitality of its people and its cultural identity.

Future growth in the tourism sector will be firmly based on the principles of inclusivity, social responsibility, environmental protection, local economic development and sustainable growth. It will be contributing to the delivery of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Philippines’ climate change commitments by 2030, under the Paris Agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The roadmap is based on an analysis of the tourism value chain. This analysis covers the activities that happen within the hotels, restaurants and venues for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE), but also the activities that supply them with energy and materials; for example food production, processing and associated waste arising. A notable exclusion from the analysis is international travel.

The analysis revealed that many environmental impacts related to tourism happen outside hotels; for example, over 90% of water used in tourism value chains is used to grow food served in hotels and venues, and producing food also contributes 50% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Inside hotels, energy used in cooling and air-conditioning is the most significant source of GHG emissions.

To help focus the delivery of this roadmap, a headline target of 30% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fuel use, electricity use and purchased goods and services is proposed. This target is supported by three sub-targets relating to food waste, energy and waste water treatment:

• • A 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for hotels and MICE venues by 2030;
• • A 30% reduction in non-renewable energy used by the hotels and MICE venues by 2030;
• • A 50% reduction in the amount of food waste generated by hotels and MICE venues by 2030; and
• • No untreated wastewater or sewage resulting from tourism operations in the Philippines reaches rivers, lakes and seas by 2025.
