This guide is designed to assist tour operators to reduce plastic waste in operations. We recognize there are many opportunities for tourism to solve the plastic problem but challenges are also present; such as plastics are too convenient for most people to eliminate, your business wants to focus on other sustainability priorities; or you are not sure where and how to remove and reduce plastics use within your business. Through this toolkit, tour operators will be able to assess current consumption of plastics, consider different alternatives and decide how your business can reduce your plastics footprint. It is important to keep in mind that changes from small actions can bring big impacts if being followed and implemented by many individuals towards achieving the same goals.
