The Tourism Society - People in all the right places

Could you bring more customers to Kingston upon Thames and make sure they have the best experience here? Then, you’re the person we need at Kingstonfirst, the organisation responsible for improving business in Kingston upon Thames’ Town Centre.

The UN World Tourism Organisation describes tourism as being both a victim and vector of climate change. Destinations in both the developing world and advanced economies are suffering as ocean levels rise, snow fails to fall, and chaotic weather patterns force travellers to dramatically rethink their plans. As the tourism industry contributes to climate change through damaging aviation emissions and high levels of energy usage all along the value chain, it shares a responsibility to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
