Building the Foundation of TourismShift
TourismShift is being built by a community of pioneers — professionals and institutions who believe in the power of knowledge, collaboration, and shared purpose to transform the future of tourism and hospitality.
“The most enduring institutions are built not by one voice, but by a community of pioneers who share a vision — and commit to building something greater than themselves.
The Founding Members initiative recognises the individuals and organisations who help establish TourismShift as a trusted global platform — shaping its standards, direction, and community from the very beginning.
Founding Members are the professionals and institutions who join TourismShift during its formative phase — contributing expertise, vision, and leadership to help build a platform designed to serve the global tourism community for years to come.
They include researchers, practitioners, destination leaders, policymakers, innovators, and organisations committed to advancing tourism through knowledge and collaboration.
Individual professionals who apply their expertise to shape the platform's editorial direction, content quality, and community standards.
Their participation may include:
Universities, tourism boards, research institutes, industry associations, government agencies, and NGOs that partner with TourismShift during its founding phase.
Founding Organizations help establish institutional credibility, expand global reach, and co-create the frameworks that will guide the platform's growth and impact.
Founding Members receive permanent recognition within the TourismShift ecosystem — acknowledged as pioneers who helped establish the platform and shape its direction from the beginning.
This designation reflects a lasting contribution to a community built on knowledge, integrity, and shared purpose.
Founding Membership is intentionally limited. We are building a curated cohort of contributors and organisations whose expertise and commitment set the standard for everything that follows.
Once the founding phase concludes, this designation will close — making early participation a unique and meaningful opportunity.
If you are a researcher, practitioner, destination leader, policymaker, or innovator who shares our vision for the future of tourism — we invite you to express your interest in becoming a Founding Member.
Together, we can build a platform that serves the global tourism community with knowledge, integrity, and lasting impact.
Join a community of pioneers building the foundation of a platform designed to transform how the world shares tourism knowledge.
