Tourism in Destinations and drafted the Cape Town Declaration. With two decades of experience around the world, he wrote the 2022 Responsible Tourism Charter which was launched and signed on Magna Carta Island. He is an adviser to the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance. In November 2023 he was listed in the Global Hall of Fame Academy as the Founder of the Responsible Tourism Movement. 2023 was the first year that Sustainability Awards have been presented. Harold was recognized alongside Inge Huijbrechts who collected the Award on behalf of the Radisson Hotel Group. UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai on Harold Goodwin’s contribution to Responsible Tourism Podcast for Gorilla Highlands February 2022 “It was a no-brainer whom to invite as our guest for the 11th episode of SEE AFRICA BREATHE AFRICA focused on responsible tourism (we cut it down to 17 minutes only, to be as user-friendly as possible). Who would be your top mark if you were to discuss the Catholic Church? Pope Francis of course! To me — and probably to thousands of others who have listened to Harold Goodwin in lecture rooms, at trade fairs and elsewhere — Pope Harold is the spiritual leader of tourism the way it should be. It was his stature that impressed me, but it is his personality that will move you when you hear Goodwin on the podcast. One could argue against his definitions of competing terms, but you can’t miss his passion, sharpness of thought and provocative ideas. We have had many a remarkable personality on the show, but this is our peak thus far … There were more than a dozen participants on our Tuesday Zoom call but most of them have opted to shut up and just take in Harold’s conviction and expertise. Meeting Harold Goodwin was my highlight of the 2015 World Travel Market, having been sent there by a UTB/UNWTO/UNDP pro-poor tourism project. In a massive exhibition hall in London, the budding Gorilla Highlands Initiative was to get world exposure — but the most profound actual revelation was our first contact with the ideas championed by Goodwin. They affected everything we have been doing ever since.” As a consultant and researcher, he worked on four continents. His biggest claim to fame may be the 2002 Cape Town Declaration on Responsible Tourism … Twenty years on, we certainly shouldn’t be self-congratulatory. Not enough progress has been made,” summarises Goodwin. One of his biggest regrets is that he hasn’t spent as much time with consumers as he has with destinations and travel businesses. “We should find the Greta Thunberg of tourism,” he says. Harold has realised that it is consumers who will most likely drive adoption of responsible practices, who will be top protectors of what matters. But he did have some very direct involvement in the responsible tourism industry too. With one of his students, Justin Francis, he co-founded Responsible Travel, a British company. Harold eventually sold his shares to avoid conflicts of interest; he was often contracted by the UK government and could theoretically work in the company’s favour. He quotes Francis when asked about customer benefits of responsible tourism: “I can’t tell the difference when I taste it between fairly traded coffee and unfairly traded coffee, but if I go on a responsible holiday, I do experience the difference.” Still, he emphasises, we should not forget that the responsible tourism mantra making better places for people to live in and better places for people to visit should never ever be switched and give priority to visitors. It’s the benefits to the local communities, their culture and their natural environment, that must always come first. ” more Miha “Rwebandira” Logar A pen sketch from June 2011 “Goodwin, a professor of Responsible Tourism at Leeds Metropolitan University, is a person who cannot be easily missed. He is a stocky teddy-bearish man with a square ruddy face adorned by a salt and pepper beard and fitted with twinkling blue eyes. Yet, he managed to remain nearly invisible right through the two-day symposium, intervening only at critical moments. ”I was here to listen to what you had to say and spread the word to the rest of the world….” R Ayyappan, Express News Service Beyond the tourist sites and sights 11 September 2020 Twitter Facebook Linkedin YouTube Sustainability Summit at WTM London in November 2023 Contact email harold@haroldgoodwin.info (please note that I do not host guest blogs) 2024 TRAVEL 19-26 January The Gambia RTD 16 4 -21 April WTM Africa in Cape Town and RTD17 in Eswatini 3 – 6 May Perth, Scotland 11 -22 May Marlborough and Cornwall – leave 4-11 August Sarawak 4th International Conference on Responsible Tourism & Hospitality (ICRTH) 29 August – 9 September ICRT India, Delhi, UP and Ladakh 12-19 September Ludlow leave 3-7 October Scotland 16-23 October Marlborough & Cornwall – leave LATEST NEWS ITEMS Latest Responsible Tourism News Every traveller is potentially an “Ambassador for Peace” Harold Goodwin inducted into Global Travel Hall of Fame Fog in the Channel: Continent Cut Off Multiple Deprivation – Faversham has more than you think -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIDEO SUBSCRIBE TO THE RTNEWS YOUTUBE CHANNEL RECENT POSTS * The Brexit decision was a failure of leadership – by Brexiteers and Remainers * Corruption rife in the UK? * Neo-Liberalism in the UK * Margaret Tharcher calls for ACTION on Climate Change * Faversham Flood Risk ARCHIVES Archives Select Month December 2023 (1) October 2023 (1) September 2023 (1) August 2023 (1) March 2023 (1) October 2022 (1) July 2022 (1) January 2022 (1) July 2021 (2) May 2021 (1) April 2021 (1) February 2021 (1) January 2021 (1) December 2020 (1) November 2020 (1) August 2020 (1) June 2020 (1) May 2020 (1) April 2020 (1) March 2020 (1) February 2020 (3) January 2020 (1) October 2019 (3) June 2019 (1) April 2019 (3) March 2019 (2) February 2019 (1) January 2019 (1) November 2018 (1) July 2018 (1) April 2018 (2) February 2018 (1) October 2017 (2) August 2017 (2) June 2017 (3) April 2017 (3) January 2017 (2) November 2016 (3) October 2016 (1) September 2016 (3) July 2016 (3) June 2016 (4) May 2016 (4) April 2016 (2) February 2016 (5) January 2016 (2) December 2015 (3) March 2015 (1) January 2015 (1) June 2014 (1) March 2014 (2) February 2014 (3) January 2014 (2) December 2013 (3) November 2013 (6) October 2013 (4) September 2013 (11) August 2013 (6) July 2013 (3) June 2013 (3) May 2013 (2) March 2013 (4) February 2013 (5) January 2013 (4) December 2012 (5) November 2012 (6) October 2012 (3) September 2012 (2) August 2012 (4) July 2012 (3) June 2012 (6) May 2012 (3) April 2012 (2) March 2012 (5) February 2012 (9) January 2012 (6) December 2011 (2) November 2011 (4) October 2011 (8) September 2011 (2) June 2011 (7) May 2011 (12) April 2011 (3) January 2011 (2) November 2010 (1) October 2010 (7) September 2010 (4) June 2010 (3) May 2010 (1) April 2010 (14) March 2010 (6) February 2010 (4) January 2010 (3) December 2009 (1) November 2009 (9) October 2009 (2) September 2009 (3) August 2009 (2) July 2009 (13) June 2009 (6) May 2009 (5) April 2009 (5) March 2009 (4) February 2009 (2) January 2009 (3) December 2008 (4) November 2008 (4) October 2008 (1) September 2008 (5) August 2008 (1) July 2008 (6) June 2008 (7) May 2008 (5) April 2008 (6) March 2008 (5) February 2008 (2) January 2008 (3) November 2007 (2) CATEGORIES Categories Select Category Africa (3) aviation (4) Awards (3) Carbon (8) certification (1) Charity (1) child protection (1) Climate change (15) Conferences (2) Covid-19 (1) Cronyism (2) cruise (1) Culture (1) Demand (2) dispersal (1) economic (1) economic impact (1) EU (5) Everest (1) Faversham (2) Fish (1) Flood Risk (1) Gambia (1) Governance Failure (1) India (2) IPCC (1) Kerala (1) Labour Conditions (1) Main Page (208) National Parks (1) New Zealand (1) Oceans (1) Offsetting (1) Perfect storm (1) Personal (1) Philanthropy (1) Plastic (1) Politics (3) Responsible Tourism (2) Responsible Tourism Awards (2) Social Media (1) South Africa (1) Trees (1) UK (1) Uncategorized (129) value (1) Volunteering (1) Water (2) WTM (1) * Home * Blog * About Harold * fnp Ashe Theme by WP Royal.
