The school is focused on the post 2015 Agenda following the 3 transformative Heads of State Summits on Development Financing, Sustainable Development Goals and Climate Change.
ICTP President Professor Geoffrey Lipman says that the event is a timely opportunity for managers in the industry, consultants and postgraduate students to evaluate the essential changes that the Travelism sector (Travel & Tourism) will have to make in the coming years. “We don’t have options, this is a societal change; we either join and shape or get left behind… the time for growth blinkers and sustainability cosmetics is over.”
