Meaningful Tourism is a tool for destinations and all service providers to achieve a positive development of post-pandemic tourism by concentrating on the benefits of all stakeholders involved.
The paradigm of Meaningful Tourism has been developed by the Meaningful Tourism Center and its founder Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Georg Arlt, to answer to the need of moving forward from the concepts of Sustainable Tourism and Responsible tourism, which have not been able to stop tourism to be perceived as a negative, destructive force instead of a activity connected with pleasure, experiences, friendship, peace and economic development.
Applications should be sent to info@meaningful-tourism.com
