BERLIN - In Malaga's neighbourhoods of Trinidad and Perchel, unemployment rates are high and opportunities for decent education are low - especially among women. However, it is those women, who hold the recipe for sustainable economic development in their community, and TUI Care Foundation has stepped into the kitchen with them. Through the project around 70 women living across 40 different traditional communal living spaces in the neighbourhoods will be empowered to develop sound business models around gastronomic heritage tourism, harnessing its rising popularity in Malaga. The project "Flavours of Malaga" aims to enhance the sustainable economic development of a community in which 60 per cent classify as low-income households.

Elise Allart, Executive Director of the TUI Care Foundation, explains: "Through the TUI Cares for Malaga programme we empower women by boosting their capacity to develop heritage-based business models, through which not only these women and their families, but the local community and economy are stimulated in a participatory and sustainable way."

"Flavours of Malaga", a project within the scope of the TUI Care Foundation's livelihoods programme, will focus on socio-economic empowerment and inclusive development in the segregated neighbourhoods crossing the Guadalmedina River. The epicentre is in the so-called corralones, traditional working-class apartment blocks clustered around a central courtyard. These popular courtyards were once the place where families would come together for food, music, drinks and laughs after a hard working-day; now they are opening their doors and sharing their culture with visitors from all over the world.

The female entrepreneurs are keeping the unique flavours of Malaga alive in their gazpachuelos, a soup that was once a cheap lunch for poor fishermen but is now a gourmet delight, Arabic-inspired desserts, which reflect seven centuries of Muslim rule, and many more delicious dishes. As more and more tourists visit the city every year, gastronomy becomes an increasingly important element of their experience, and so does the potential locked in the corralones. TUI Care Foundation is now working with local and international partners to unlock it.

For this project the TUI Care Foundation partners with the Saxion University of Applied Sciences, the locally based Club Gastronomico Kilometro Cero and the Municipality of Malaga. Students of the Saxion University will contribute their academic experience in sustainable development. Kilometro Cero, on the other hand, will develop seminars to promote these gastronomic districts among stakeholders, as well as conduct training workshops with female entrepreneurs to help them market their products and identify opportunities to add more value. TUI Care Foundation supports all parts of the process, providing funding, encouraging capacity building, bringing in tourism expertise and raising awareness among visitors from all over the world.

Visitors will stimulate the economic impact by booking excursions to the corralones, where they will experience unique traditional Malaga first hand and/ have the opportunity to participate in cooking workshops and excursions to the local market; all of this organized by the local female entrepreneurs.

Raul Jimenez Jimenez, Town Councillor of Social Affairs of Malaga, explains: "Flavours of Malaga combines the empowerment of women from this neighbourhood with sustainable tourism. This is the first project of this kind here; we trust it can be an example for a further roll out throughout Malaga."

By engaging in the holistic project, local women will be able to improve their socio-economic position and will also boost the area's livelihoods by advancing their entrepreneurial and leadership skills.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Florida For Good, in partnership with Legacy Vacation Resorts, just launched the B Tourism resource platform for sustainable tourism businesses to connect, share best practices and during these trying times, provide free resources to those companies dealing with negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The new platform is a national network to convene the hospitality industry and tourism community for collective action to protect people's livelihoods, facilitate business continuity and mobilize support for the COVID-19 response. Helpful links and resource pages geared toward employees and employers include things such as:
* Companies that are hiring
* SBA loan information
* Best practices for times of crisis
* COVID-19 prevention measures
* Suggestions for self-care in a time of uncertainty

These resources are intended to help companies find ways to show their stakeholders that they place value on the triple bottom line (people, planet, prosperity) as they do their best to ensure economic viability for the organization while minimizing consequential harm through compassion and well thought out decisions.

Picture of the locals participating in the beach clean-up, Bali.

The ocean sustains us with the basic elements of life -it produces half of the oxygen in the air we breathe, and it is an essential part of the water cycle, helping to provide the water we drink. However, we face difficult challenges when it comes to preserving clean oceans, but one problem is simple to understand: rubbish. Rubbish is one of the most widespread pollution problems facing our oceans and waterways. We all know waste in the water compromises the health and livelihoods of humans and wildlife, and threaten the tourism industry that depends on it.

Unfortunately, even in world famous beaches, such as those in Bali, we have all noticed the "tsunami of trash" on the beachfront these past few years during the wet season. During this time, which usually occurs between October and April, tons of rubbish will pile high after having been washed out by the monsoon rain and brought back by onshore winds, leaving the island in a horrendous condition. That's why since 2012, Garuda Indonesia joined forces with Coca Cola, Amatil Indonesia (CCAI) and Quiksilver Indonesia (QS) through Bali Beach CleanUp program - a bold action founded by CCAI and QSin2008 - that aims to minimize the impact of waste on the beautiful beaches of Bali, strengthen the tourism industry which will help improve the welfare of the local people, and support Bali's government's program.

México. Exposición sobre estudios de vulnerabilidad al cambio climático.

Mexico is highly exposed to natural hazards - ranging from droughts to hurricanes. As climate change gains pace, wide-ranging shifts in climate variability are anticipated, including increases in extreme weather events and associated likely impacts on economic activities like tourism. To address these challenges, a series of Climate Change Vulnerability Studies on 20 of Mexico's priority tourism destinations were conducted between 2012 and 2016. These studies were undertaken by a research centre, the National Academy of Research and Development, at the request of the Ministry of Tourism. They assess vulnerability to climate change in Cancún, Riviera Maya, Acapulco, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, Mazatlán, Boca del Río, Veracruz, Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, Huatulco, Campeche, Coatzacoalcos, Costa Esmeralda, Tlacotalpan, Guanajuato, Monterrey, Morelia, Puebla, San Miguel de Allende and Manzanillo.

These Climate Change Vulnerability Studies have four main components:
- An assessment of the destination's vulnerability to the impacts of climate variability and climate change, considering various risks;
- An Adaptation Programme for each destination, carried out through an on-site workshop with local actors. These evaluate the matrix of specific adaptation actions to be carried out by the tourism sector in each destination, subjected to a hierarchical and cost-benefit approach;
- Vulnerability and risk maps for each destination, featuring geographic information on vulnerabilities; and
- Analysis of each destination's Early Warning System, operated by the Directorate General of Civil Protection of Mexico's Ministry of the Interior.

ADOPTAR MEDIDAS URGENTES PARA PALIAR EL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO Y SUS EFECTOS.

El turismo contribuye al cambio climático y a la vez se ve afectado por el mismo. Por eso, redunda en el propio interés del sector que éste tenga un papel protagonista en la respuesta global al cambio climático. Reduciendo el consumo de energía y utilizando fuentes renovables, especialmente en el sector del transporte y el alojamiento, el turismo puede ayudar a abordar uno de los retos más urgentes de nuestra época.

Accor Hotels offer their customers healthy and high quality food. They place great importance on the quality of their meat and livestock products by including a piece of high-quality meat on the menu, at a good price and if possible of local origin, the meat do not contain hormones and milk comes from cows raised without growth hormones, and eggs from free range hens reared outdoors.

Trans fatty acids are limited, and where solutions are available, for example, palm oil is replaced with other non hydrogenated fats. They favour processed products that do not contain palm oil in particular for sandwich bread and crisps. The hotel also limit the presence of sugar in the food offered. For example, they work to ensure bread, pastries, and cakes contain lower quantity of glucose-fructose syrup, or even none at all.

During 2016, AccorHotels Australia rolled out the Healthy and Sustainable Food Charter to all hotels. The goal of the Charter is to offer guests a true culinary experience through high-quality, healthy and sustainable food, all the while contributing to the transformation of the agricultural model and fighting against food waste.

Italia. Senderos históricos sobre dos ruedas

My name is Paco, and this is my story...

I am 34 years old now. Italy is my home - it is who I am, what I love, where my future lies. Here I have lived, loved, dreamed. When I talk with people and friends who know what I do, they say I made a dream come true. Well, maybe yes, maybe not. All I know is that I do what I like most: be with people from all over the world and cycle every day.

I had the idea to build a company when I was 26. I found the right partner - Adriano, 33 years old, who already was a friend of mine. Together we brought the rickshaw businessto Apulia, South Italy. Our idea was simple: give visitors the opportunity to see the places we loved from the seat of a bicycle. Make it possible for them to feel all of the textures, hear all of the sounds, breathe in all of the scents and enjoy all of the energy of the places we love, by being in them. Why not? Something incredible happens when you get people to slow down, look, listen and feel. What better way to make
this happen than on a bicycle.

As mad as it seemed at the time, little by little we made people think that this is a real job. Today our company, veloservice, counts more than 25 guys working in Bari and Lecce who are proud to show the best we have in our land on board our bikes.

Our offering is simple. As we say on our website, since 2008 we have been engaged in promoting a conscious and responsible lifestyle called bike concept. We address zero-emission sustainable mobility by organising activities and events that go beyond the use of a bicycle. We believe in small and good daily habits that lead to great changes.

Siendo unos de los sectores con un mayor de porcentajes de mujeres empleadas y emprendedoras, el turismo puede servir para liberar el potencial de las mujeres y ayudarlas a participar plenamente y a emanciparse en todos los ámbitos de la sociedad.

India. Arte y turismo, pintando un nuevo futuro para las mujeres

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I am Swarna Chitrakar, and this is my story....

I belong to the village of Naya that is around 160 kms away from the city of Kolkata, in India. Our village has found a place on the cultural map of India because of its thriving tradition of Pata-chitra, or traditional scroll painting.
I went through the hardships of daily life like any other woman of my community. But I wanted to break free from social shackles and taboos, especially those that prevented painting and singing by women. I settled down at Naya with my husband and daughters and started painting Pata-chitra, encouraged by my father Amar Chitrakar and my uncle Dukhushyam Chitrakar.

Traditionally this art form was practiced by the menfolk. Men primarily painted and sang while the women helped in making colors from minerals, fruits, flowers, seeds and leaves. Women were not supposed to paint the pata themselves. All this has changed now.

Naya was once a poor village, but today it is an active settlement of around 60 families of Patua - the community of scroll painters, many of whom are women. The community is called Patua and all of them have their last name as Chitrakar, meaning painter. I belong to this community of painters. Naya is now a flourishing hub of Patachitra painting and a year round cultural and tourist destination.

At one point of time, this art form was dying as electronic media made inroads into the village community. It was tough to sell the paintings and our survival was difficult. A social enterprise www.banglanatak.com started working in our village to revive the tradition with support of the Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre in 2005. There were only around 20 painters and hardly anyone knew the songs. Veteran painters like Dukhushyam, Shyamsundar, Rani Chitrakar trained the young people on painting. Dukhushyam taught singing. Audiovisual CDs were published on our painting tradition. The lost art of the use of natural colour was revived.

In 2010, www.banglanatak.com organized POT Maya a three day fair in our village. They also set up a resource centre. The resource centre provided us much needed space to practice and showcase our art tradition. The fair and the resource centre created a new tourism culture. Tourists and visitors began to pour in with great interest and I could now have a direct communication and interaction with the collectors. POT Maya held in the second weekend of November celebrated its fourth edition in 2014. Our art has found appreciation among the local people as well as across the country and the globe. More and more artists and mainly women are now involved in Patachitra and there are more than 300 painters in our village. It has opened up a new world of freedom for womenfolk particularly. The women who had restricted mobility, are enjoying a new freedom and are travelling across the country. Patuas have now travelled to countries like France, Germany, the UK, Italy, China, The US, Australia and Japan.

Today Patachitra has become a vibrant folk media telling stories not only from epics and mythology but also on new contemporary subjects. We paint on themes like climate change, violence against women, human trafficking or events like 9/11 and tsunami. Collectors and buyers travel all the way to our village to see and buy our paintings. My village Naya has now become a most important tourist destination. The Department of Micro, Small, Medium Enterprise and Textiles is now supporting development of comprehensive infrastructure as our village has emerged as a successful Rural Craft Hub.

Today, I feel so happy to see children in the village taking up brush and color on weekend mornings anticipating visitors. I feel proud and happy that I am a part of this renewed culture.

España. Sabores de Málaga. Empoderamiento de las mujeres a través del Turismo de patrimonio gastronómico.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Preparing traditional tea

Málaga is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Spanish region of Andalusia that provides employment up to 20.5 percent of the labour force in the region, However, women have barely gained from these developments. As in many destinations worldwide, the labour force in Málaga is highly gendered and women are far behind in agency. This situation is particularly visible in the adjoined working-class neighbourhoods of Trinidad and Perchel which suffers by high unemployment rates (in total 62,3% in 2014) with 10% higher unemployment for women.

Recently, women from Trinidad and Perchel have established their own association, called 'La Alacena del Corralón'. As part of their activities, to generate income, they organise gastronomic activities in 19th century residential communities, called 'Corralones', every June and December. In order to further improve the socio-economic position of these women, Saxion University of Applied Sciences, in close collaboration with the Municipality of Málaga, the gastronomic club 'Kilómetro 0' and with financial support from TUI Care Foundation, initiated the gastronomic heritage tourism project 'Flavours of Málaga'.

The aim of this initiative is to enable socio-economic empowerment of 50-70 women and their families in Trinidad and Perchel by offering sustainable gastronomic heritage products and activities for the tourism industry. The following four mains aims are derived from and based on this project's aim in the long run (5-10 years):

1. Increase women's participation in the workforce and reinforce their socio-economic position.
2. Advance women's entrepreneurial skills and leadership position through trainings and workshops.
3. Improve the livelihood of the wider local community through sustainable business developments
4. Provide an exemplary connection between women's empowerment strategies and sustainable tourism development as pillars of urban development in vulnerable areas.
