"This is the second time that Guyana will be hosting STC. Since its
successful hosting of STC-4 in 2000 received rave reviews from
delegates, Guyana has promised that STC-13 will top that accomplishment.
STC-13 has been themed “Keeping the Right Balance: Sustaining Our Resources”.
It will not only explore best practices relating to the issues
surrounding how tourism sustainability and engaged communities can
better interconnect with biodiversity conservation and climate change
adaptation initiatives, but will also bring new insight into
advancements in evolving special interest tourism niches such as
adventure tourism. STC-13 will also focus on agro and culinary tourism
as well as how to market sustainable tourism products. Additionally, it
will demonstrate using global and regional examples, how planning for
better resource (e.g. water, energy, biodiversity) management in
relation to critical tourism-related infrastructure can contribute to
tourism sustainability and reduce the impacts of climate change." -- Caribbean Tourism Organization
