In the fourth episode of PATA Cap U Podcast, we speak with Paul Rogers, Co-Founder and Director of Planet Happiness. He invites us to move beyond measuring tourism in terms of GDP and to envision a world of sustainable tourism through GNH, Gross National Happiness. GNH is a tool and metric to measure how host communities of heritage sites view their well-being and identify ways towards responsible destination management.
Listen in as this episode’s hosts Shaun McGrath and Carma Chan ask how GNH can promote sustainable tourism development. Find out what it means to move beyond GDP!
