fusion-text-3"><p>From 3-7 October, destination professionals enjoyed an extraordinary event week as City Destinations Alliance (CityDNA), the Global Destination Sustainability Movement (GDS-Movement), and Visit València partnered to bring two incredible back-to-back events and to jointly  celebrate the prestigious annual GDS-Awards.</p> <p>The CityDNA Autumn Conference provided destination professionals with a unique occasion to meet and network with colleagues from Europe and beyond while sharing knowledge and insights on the latest tourism trends and challenges.</p> <p>The GDS-Forum convened destination leaders and sustainability champions from around the world in a dynamic and unconventional gathering to discuss sustainability and impact strategies and best practices, learn from GDS-Index journeys, and co-create new approaches and initiatives for greater regenerative destination management. It followed a novel, non-conference format with a focus on peer-to-peer learning, collaboration, and creativity.</p> <p>The GDS-Awards Ceremony brought both communities together in an entertaining and inspiring evening celebration to recognize the winners of the 8th GDS-Index Awards. The larger platform enabled greater reach and recognition for destinations whose sustainability contributions exceeded pre-pandemic levels in a global industry with a growing responsibility to “be the change we need to see in the world.”</p> <p>Valencia, the city of arts and sciences, was a superb host for the inaugural GDS-Forum event. It is dedicated to sustainable tourism, has best practices in reporting, is the very first participating city to calculate and certify its tourism carbon footprint, and is a long-term member of GDS-Index committed to continuous improvement. It was also the proud recipient of the 2024 European Green Capital Award.</p> </div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-4"><h3>Have a look at the 2023 GDS-Forum report</h3> <p>You will find the top 10 ideas from the conference, videos, sustainability in numbers, testimonials and much more!</p> </div></div></div><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column" style="--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:7.5px;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:7.5px;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:7.5px;--awb-spacing-left-medium:7.5px;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:7.5px;--awb-spacing-left-small:7.5px;"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column"><div class="fusion-image-before-after-wrapper fusion-image-before-after-horizontal type-before-after hover-type-together fusion-image-before-after-wrapper-1" style="--awb-handle-color:var(--awb-color2);--awb-font-size:14px;--awb-bordersize:0px;--awb-bordercolor:var(--awb-color5);--awb-accent-color-bg:hsla(var(--awb-color1-h),var(--awb-color1-s),var(--awb-color1-l),calc(var(--awb-color1-a) -
