Hospitality Net - Industry News - Marriott's Ed Fuller Warns WTM Delegates
Top hotelier, Ed Fuller, President and Managing Director of Marriott International Lodging, will be making a stark warning at this year's WTM World Responsible Tourism Day.

"I believe we are standing at a crossroads", he said. "While the science behind climate change may still be debated, few argue that temperatures are rising globally and that this change will potentially have a devastating effect on destinations and populations.

"As an industry, it is too risky to sit back and watch. We need to take an active part in understanding the change and doing our part to mitigate this trend."

He said that Marriott is being proactive. The company is working with Conservation International to fully understand and accurately measure its global carbon footprint.
