The Goal

Park City has a long history of environmental responsibility and sustainability — and our goals are North America’s most ambitious. Our destination is on track to be net-zero carbon and run on 100% renewable energy by 2030 community-wide and by 2022 for municipal operations — making Park City a premier sustainable destination for meetings and events.

 

The Plan

The Park City Chamber/Bureau's new Sustainable Tourism Plan is working with industry experts, including the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) — and is a collaborative, proactive, and forward-thinking strategy to help advance Summit County’s objective of pursuing balanced and sustainable tourism development plus build on the foundation of existing initiatives.
