Peace Beyond Borders

War hurts international travel, tourism, and meetings — as we've learned yet again all too recently. Yet these are the activities that have a tremendous potential to promote peace. That's the belief of the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism, says founder and president Louis D'Amore. “IIPT was born in Montréal in 1986 when I became interested in how to tap the world's largest industry — tourism — to make a better future,” he says.
