Reflection group

Reflection group

Advisory and knowledge body to promote responsible tourism and generate a positive impact on the sector and society through tourism activity

Grup de reflexió de la CETT Fundació

The CETT Foundation is launching its Reflection Group with the aim of creating a platform for dialogue and value-added contributions on topics relevant to the tourism sector. Through this platform, the group will explore solutions, recommendations, applicable knowledge, and strategies that resonate with both the sector and society. The group will serve as a space to amplify the concerns and proposals of tourism professionals, with the intention of expanding in the future to incorporate new perspectives.

The working dynamic will include regular reflection sessions, the organization of an annual policy dialogue, and the publication of a conclusions document with recommendations for the sector. In this regard, the group seeks to include representatives from different sectors with an interdisciplinary approach and diverse profiles to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive vision.

To promote debate on strategic issues for the tourism sector

Creating applicable knowledge for the sustainable development of tourism
