Youth in Action: Driving Solutions for Sustainable Tourism
17 March 2022

This session was part of the larger Southeast Asia Development Symposium (SEADS), ADB's preeminent development policy forum for the Southeast Asia region. ADB Youth for Asia (YfA), an initiative under the NGO and Civil Society Center, organized the "Youth in Action: Driving Solutions for Sustainable Tourism” deep dive workshop.

In the YfA-partner Deep Dive Workshop at SEADS 2022, an intergenerational and multisectoral dialogue explored the future of sustainable tourism in the region and the opportunities that meaningfully engaged young people to offer to realize this vision. Participants from government, civil society and youth organizations, academic institutions, and others shared opportunities, lessons learned, and recommendations for revitalizing a tourism sector that is sustainable, inclusive, and driven by meaningfully engaging with more youth.
