CONSULTING IN SUSTAINABLE TOURISM & HOSPITALITY DEVELOPMENT, LECTURING ON CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT MITIGATION, TRAINING, PUBLIC SPEAKING & MARINE CONSERVATION
- HELPING OTHERS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE -
"Great discussion with Nosheen Bukhari for her podcast ‘Reply All’. We talked extensively about the challenges facing the development and management of sustainable tourism in Pakistan, environmental degradation on land and sea and how we can develop opportunities from the impact of global warming. Finally, we considered what implications AI is having for authors."
A potentially nerve-wracking experience for me conversing the other day with 70+ small persons between the ages of 4 and 6. We talked about the oceans and the impact that pollution is having on them.
You’ll see from the recording just how engaged they are on environmental sustainability, both on land and in the sea. I had no need to be nervous, they were fabulous. With children as switched on as this, the world will be in safer hands than those of previous generations who’ve collectively made such a mess of things.
My thanks to École des Lumières for inviting me to talk to such an enthusiastic and self-possessed group of children and also to Najib Ahmed and his team from Power99 for recording and editing this video.

Sustainability is a comprehensive concept that acts as the base of all environmentally friendly systems; in ecology, it means to maintain a process or cycle at a rate that can continue on its own. Sustainable processes avoid inputs that consume natural resources in an effort to uphold ecological harmony. Whether it’s in tourism, agriculture, energy use, or personal habits, prioritizing sustainability is crucial to reduce a system’s environmental impact.

all covered in a great interview on Pakistan Television (PTV) with Sharmeen Ali in the 'Sky is the Limit'.
This is about sustainability issues and the responsibility that the tourism and hospitality industries must have towards the preservation of the oceans.
Sadly, our track record is appalling and needs to be vastly improved.
