Why Millennium Destinations?
There is no tourism without tourists
Founded in late 2010 by Catherine Germier-Hamel, Millennium Destinations (MD) was initially designed as a blog aimed at promoting sustainable tourism destinations and initiatives, while sharing practical solutions and insights on the contribution of tourism to global sustainable development and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
Since January 2014, MD has become a global expert network delivering innovative services and solutions in the field of SUSTAINABLE TOURISM MARKETING, PROMOTION AND EDUCATION, thus getting ready for a new journey towards the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Our vision: sustainable tourism as a natural choice for all
Our mission: to contribute to the spreading of sustainable consumption and production (SCP) patterns in the tourism industry, and to promote tourism destinations, businesses and products that have a positive net impact on the planet and its people
Because tourism activities are human activities, Millennium Destinations is mostly focusing on lifestyle, people-centered, demand approaches, as well as participatory processes encouraging concerted efforts and permanent interactions / consultations among all stakeholders, and mutual enrichment for the tourists and host communities.
Millennium Destinations is particularly committed to supporting Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups, young and/or female entrepreneurs, social businesses, non-profit organizations, associations and cooperatives, etc. in their efforts to develop their markets and brand image, domestically and internationally.
