Our Sponsorship Opportunities
The Center for Responsible Travel (CREST) and Stanford University Graduate School of Business offer sponsorship opportunities for the 2nd Executive Symposium for Innovators in Coastal Tourism Development. Bringing together tourism experts and industry leaders from North, Central and South America, the Innovators Symposium is a premiere forum to showcase your commitment to sustainability and to significantly differentiate you from the compentitionvisibility in this dynamic and growing marketplace.
The Symposium's attendees and the audience for pre-event publicity is a select group of influencial players in tourism, development, finance, real estate, international development agencies, NGO's and government sectors. The sooner you sponsor, the more exposure you will receive!
To reserve a sponsorship opportunity or to discuss options suitable for your company or organization, contact David Krantz at dkrantz@responsibletravel.org or 202.347.9203 ext. 417.
