The second annual Sustainability Summit will take place in Sydney on Wed 22 Apr 2020 - coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.

“The Business Publishing Group is proud to be providing a forum for the travel industry to gather for a day focusing on the future,” said GM Christian Schweitzer.

“Many companies in the sector are already working hard on sustainability, so we wanted to provide a respectful, positive environment to discuss what we can all do better,” he added.
