From wildfire to forest regeneration 🌳

Three years after the 2023 wildfires, the TUI Care Foundation is launching TUI Forest Rhodes together with local environmental organisation Gia Ti Fisi, as part of the Rhodes Co-Lab initiative.

Over the next three years, the project is set to carry out restoration activities across 80,000 m² of land and plant more than 3,000 trees, alongside soil management, irrigation and fire-prevention measures. A new nature trail and Education and Information Centre will give residents, students and visitors the opportunity to learn more about the island’s ecosystems and the restoration work taking place.

And the first volunteers have already got involved. 👏

On 16 October, 25 volunteers from Marella Discovery joined a tree-planting day at the project site. For 1st Electrical Officer Rowie Presado, taking part felt personal: the crew visits Rhodes regularly and had seen the effects of the wildfires themselves.

Environmental Officer Andrei Matei described the highlight of the day as planting the very first sapling, with “lots of smiles” and “a genuine feeling that we were doing something meaningful together.” He explained his reason for joining simply: “To give back to an island that gives so much to our guests and crew.”

Around 1,500 volunteers are expected to take part over the next three years. 🌳

More than 3 tonnes of waste collected in a single day 🥤

In September, 3,600+ people across Cyprus, Greece and Jordan joined Tourism Cares: Unite for Cleaner Destinations.

120 tourism businesses and organisations took part in clean-ups across beaches, rivers, national parks, public spaces and underwater locations, helping remove waste while highlighting the issue of marine litter and plastic pollution. 🏖️

Our TUI Musement colleagues in Cyprus and Greece were among those getting involved, working alongside local communities, volunteers and tourism partners to care for the destinations they know so well. 💙

Supported through the TUI Care Foundation's Destination Zero Waste Cyprus project, in partnership with Cyprus Sustainable Tourism Initiative (CSTI), the initiative has grown rapidly: participation has doubled since 2024.

A big thank you to everyone who gave their time and energy to make the day happen! 👏

These young people are bringing their priorities on education and entrepreneurship directly to OECD experts in Berlin 📢

Recently, members of Youthwise, the OECD’s Youth Advisory Board, came together in Berlin to share their experiences and ideas on two issues that will shape their futures: education and entrepreneurship. 💬

During the workshop, they spoke with OECD experts about the opportunities and barriers young people face when developing their own businesses and ideas.

They also discussed the future of PISA, the OECD’s international student assessment programme, and how it can remain relevant and meaningful for the young people taking part in it.

The TUI Care Foundation has supported Youthwise since 2023, helping create opportunities for young people to contribute directly to international discussions on education, employment, climate resilience, skills and other issues affecting their generation.

The current 2025–2027 Youthwise cohort will continue bringing young people’s perspectives into OECD conversations over the next two years. 🌍

As tourism grows across the Western Balkans, there is an opportunity to connect more of that demand with local farms, food and rural communities. 🌱

Together with GIZ, the TUI Care Foundation is launching TUI Field to Fork Western Balkans across Albania, North Macedonia and Montenegro.

The new project will work with 90 agricultural households, supporting farmers to strengthen their skills in areas such as soil health, crop diversity and water conservation. At the same time, farmers, food producers and tourism businesses will work together to bring more local products and rural experiences into the visitor economy.

Over the next 27 months, the project aims to develop more than 20 new tourism experiences, including farm visits and culinary activities, and establish at least 20 partnerships between agriculture and tourism. These new offers are expected to engage at least 1,000 visitors during the project period. 🧺🌾

The initiative is co-financed by the TUI Care Foundation and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ.

In Rwanda, UN Tourism Small Grants Programme, enabled by the TUI Care Foundation, and in partnership with Nature Rwanda, is transforming Busaga Natural Forest into a future eco-tourism destination. The initiative is training 30 women and young people to guide forest tours, run eco-tourism services, and create local handicrafts for sale.

On a recent visit, community-trained guides led the way through the forest, and visitors left with handcrafted baskets, bags and decor, bringing direct income to local artisans.

Protecting nature and building livelihoods goes hand in hand.

This year’s World Tourism Day focuses on the role of digital technology and artificial intelligence in reshaping tourism. 💻🤖

But the most meaningful applications are not always the most visible ones.

Across TUI Care Foundation projects, technology is being used in very different ways: helping entrepreneurs address visitor pressure in Spain, supporting biodiversity monitoring in Rwanda, strengthening the digital capabilities of tourism businesses in Cambodia, and making tourism training accessible globally through the TUI e-Academy.

Together, these examples show that smarter tourism is not simply about adopting more technology. It is about using it where it can make a real difference for destinations, businesses, people and nature. 🌍

Here's what that looks like in practice ⬇️
