<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> Through a mix of talks and activations centered around the main design-thinking session, our goal is to conclude the 2016 Summit with a realistic roadmap to push the travel industry toward its potential as a catalyst for positive impact: the Travel Sustainable Development Goals. =====

=
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> Nourished by a healthy lunch, our 150 chosen attendees will divide into groups for workshops and activations led by The GREEN Program. Our goal is to conclude the Summit with concrete and actionable plans of action to accomplish our core theme and challenge: How do we mainstream sustainable tourism? Those solutions will be collected and published in a dedicated white paper drafted by NYU. =====

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**On Thursday****, May 12,** TSG Global has partnered with the local TSG NYC Hub for an afternoon of experiential tours and a kickoff party at Hostelling International. Registered attendees will have their choice of experiential tours and activations throughout the city of New York, meant to exemplify what impact in travel means. Our vision is to highlight New York City as a capital of sustainable travel. Private tours site visits, and other experiences will be made available to our 150 guests at no extra cost. =====

=
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> The Travel+SocialGood team leads with a passionate, optimistic, inclusive voice, and our global community of changemakers is convinced we can transform the travel industry into a force for good. =====

=
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> Launched in partnership with the UN Foundation and +SocialGood in 2013, Travel+SocialGood has grown from its original Summit into a nonprofit and global community with Hubs in more than 20 cities worldwide. Through our initiatives, TSG is building a collaborative community that provides the tools and network to help catalyze our industry’s next leaders. =====

=
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> TSG is an unfunded nonprofit run by the support and dedication of our passionate volunteers. We’ve set a $200,000 fundraising goal for the year in order to create an online platform for the Travel+SocialGood Academy — the first universally applicable and affordable platform for gaining a practical education on building impact into every aspect of the travel industry. =====

=
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> The Academy focuses on providing an outlet to learn from experts and thought leaders who can share actionable insight for three major tracks: travel/hospitality, business and content creation. Academy sessions have been hosted by local Hubs at in-person events, and last year, TSG curated a full day of courses from more than 30 speakers for our first-ever Academy Day, hosted in New York City. =====

=
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> We want to create an online platform so that these courses are accessible to our entire global community, a network made up of Hubs based in more than 20 cities worldwide. =====

=
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Travel+SocialGood is an unfunded nonprofit, run by volunteers. On May 12, our experiential tours and kickoff party have been donated to our attendees with in-kind donations from our local partners. On May 13, we are hosting a private event for the 150 chosen attendees. For this portion of the event, we are being quoted at a price per attendee from a private vendor in the UN. =====

=
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Raleway,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> Based on the suggested ticket price of $500 per ticket for 150 attendees, this is where your money goes: 54% toward fundraising for the online [|TSG Academy] (with approximately ¼ funded), 33% toward the two-day TSG 2016 Global Summit costs (estimated $25,000 total) and 13% toward TSG overhead ($10,000 goal toward covering costs like legal and accounting, email/site maintenance, and incidentals for events). =====
