Demands for planting trees and requests for projects to support form part of the increase focus by local and international conference organisers and delegates to have peace of mind about the sustainability of attending events and meetings in South Africa.

Olivia Gradidge, marketing manager travel and tourism at RX Africa, says over the past seven years, the company has seen a large shift in people's cognisance around sustainability and its importance.

Offsetting one’s carbon footprint at events has also become more important for delegates, especially as conferences traditionally have a heavy environmental footprint, according to Gradidge. To help delegates offset their carbon emissions, WTM Africa partners with Greenpop – a nonprofit organisation focussed on forest restoration, urban greening, food gardening, and environmental awareness projects across sub-Saharan Africa.
