At the 2024 Adventure Travel World Summit in Panama, the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) introduced its new Membership Sustainability Commitment, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at uniting the adventure travel community under a shared goal of sustainable practices.
The initiative calls on members to demonstrate their commitment to responsible tourism by meeting one of three criteria: obtaining third-party certification, making measurable progress toward certification, or participating in third-party sustainability assessments such as Nature Positive Tourism.
