Sonu Shivdasani, Chairman and CEO, Six Senses Resorts and Spas; Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director, Forum for the Future; Mohamed Aslam, Minister for Housing and Environment, Government of the Maldives; Edward Norton, Film-Maker and President of the Board of Trustees, Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust

Edward Norton asks the question: The tourism industry has become extremely attuned to the narrative of sustainable tourism. Have they embraced just the narrative or also the practice?
