UNWTO awards ICCA and MCI for sustainability tool
The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) Scandinavian Destinations Sustainability Index, an effective tool developed by ICCA and MCI to measure and drive progress on the industry-transforming Sustainable Scandinavian Meetings Region collaboration, has received the ‘Most Innovative Project Award’ at the second United Nations World Tourism Organisation’s (UNWTO) Knowledge Network Global Forum. Since 2010, visionary leaders from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, the five countries of the ICCA Scandinavian Chapter, have been working with MCI to transform Scandinavia into the world’s first sustainable meetings region. The ICCA Scandinavian Destination Sustainability Index measures and compares the social and environmental sustainability commitment and performance of capital and regional cities in the five participating countries.
