A groundbreaking national conference uncovering the potential of tourism to drive social change and empower local communities.

Join us for the UK's first nationwide conference dedicated to transforming the visitor economy into a force for social good.

This pioneering event, organised in partbership with York St John University and the Institute for Social Justice, will showcase how local residents, social enterprises, and community heritage initiatives can take the lead in shaping a more inclusive and sustainable tourism sector.

It will shine a spotlight on the power of resident voice and representation, while exploring how community-led tourism can drive policy change and spark meaningful transformation at local, regional, and national levels.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a movement redefining the future of tourism for the better.
