WORKING TOGETHER TOWARD SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS TOURISM
Always at the forefront of industry trends, Destination Sherbrooke recently adopted its first sustainable tourism policy. An action plan spanning from 2022 to 2030 will allow the organization to reach carbon neutrality while committing partners, visitors, and clients to a similar approach.
On the business tourism side, several steps have already been undertaken, whether the prioritization of digital tools (bid documents, virtual postcards, welcome emails) or the identification of eco-responsible local suppliers.
Information documents and sessions will be available to allow you to join the effort by identifying different aspects of your event that could reach sustainability through simple yet effective actions.
Finally, an incentive program will allow client-organizers to concretely join efforts by contributing to the purchase of carbon credits dedicated to the health of the mature forests in Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships region.
