There are over sixty contributors from around the world. “Travel and tourism is the world largest employer. The industry provides more than selling tickets. Beside of business interests, it is our intention to build bridges among countries, nations, cultures and religions. Not just the traveler himself serving as an ambassador of his country or culture, but this industry has the responsibility to highlight its services to contribute as a piece of mutual understanding among the cultures. The traveler himself and the international travel and tourism industry hand in hand as the world largest employer and most influential trade should contribute and understand themselves being the “Peace Industry.” Tourism is more than selling tickets, it’s the way forward!” stated by Burkhard Herbote, who is member of the Advisory Board of the International Institute for Peace through Tourism IIPT.
