Blackstone to host primer on sustainable tourism

We’ve heard about sustainable farming and sustainable building; ways to use resources efficiently without depleting them.

There’s another sustainable market waiting to be tapped: sustainable tourism. The Blackstone Valley Tourism Council’s Sustainable Tourism Planning and Development Laboratory is hosting a primer on the concept tomorrow morning.

Tourism agencies, local policy makers, educators and students and anyone else interested in the practices of sustainable tourism are invited to “An Introduction to Resilient Tourism,” tomorrow beginning at 8 a.m. For $35, participants will hear from a number of speakers on topics such as “experimental tourism,” to satellite accounting.

The event is set to take place at the Blackstone Valley Visitors Center in Pawtucket. Although the Tourism Lab is based in the Blackstone River Valley section of the state, it consists of members from around the world.

Registration is required, find a schedule of events and other information on the Sustainable Tourism Lab's Web site or call the Lab at 401-724-2200.
