TIS boosts sustainability

At TIS – Tourism Innovation Summit we are deeply commited to sustainability. Our main goal is to boost sustainability in the tourism industry. Contributing into competitiveness means contributing to sustainability too.

Being a Biosphere Certified event is a testament of our efforts to have a postive impact in our environment, society, communities, industries and economics.

In collaboration with Ocean52, all the event water is aluminium and reusable. This not only eliminates plastic, but also reduces single-use packaging and, together with Ocean52, we contribute to a positive impact by allocating 52% of our turnover to ocean conservation projects.

Act Global and Think Local is our late motiv.

With the celebration of TIS – Tourism Innovation Summit we have an impact of +20M€ but we know that economic growth is not possible if this is not sustainable. That is why we only count on local suppliers and we promote the offer of Seville from its architecture, culture and gastronomy.

TIS is an international event focused also on local impact to help the city and community of Seville and Spain grow in every way.

At TIS – Tourism Innovation Summit we are very committed to the environment. We have eliminated paper from our event with digital initiatives such as the visitor’s guide in the TIS app, the exhibitor’s guide through QR codes, or going from using paper lists for institutional and networking activities to using Tablets.

We have recycling points and there are bins to separate waste distributed throughout our showroom. In addition, at TIS we are dealing with a wide variety of topics with specific forums dedicated to sustainable tourism. Also, 65% of the common areas material is reused from other events, so that we don’t need to build and create waste in our assembling.

All our sessions have simultaneous translation and we have created a congress that is accessible to anyone with reduced mobility.

We also promote and highlight the role of women in the tourism industry.

Women play a fundamental role in our Congress and that is why we collaborate with associations dedicated to advancing the economic empowerment of women.

In addition, we are proud to partner with Autism Friendly Club, an initiative led by social professionals to identify and promote autism-friendly environments. Thanks to this collaboration, we continue moving forward in making TIS a truly inclusive event for everyone.
