Fair Sailing - Rethink Cruise Tourism

Fair Sailing - Rethink Cruise Tourism

Fair Sailing advocates for an approach to cruise tourism that prioritizes local communities and the environment of Victoria, Canada's busiest cruise ship port-of-call. The presentation provides an overview of local cruise tourism practices and offers feasible solutions to reduce impacts on the community. Our solutions are based on years of data-collection, research, and analysis of the local and global cruise industry.

Speaker: Vicki Küng is Executive Director and co-founder of Fair Sailing, an all-volunteer non-profit organization that documents cruise tourism impacts in Victoria, and advocates solutions. Küng co-owned a design and branding firm in California that specialized in international marketing, retail and manufacturing, and technology. Prior to that she spent a decade in the travel industry. A Victoria resident since 2018, she grew up on sailboats in Southern California.

Also presenting is Fair Sailing co-founder and Board Director Anke Bergner.
