welcome to coast
You've made it to our remarkable on-line network (with members from cake-makers to photographers, campsites to recycling collectors, community groups, hotels, colleges, universities, beach cafes, designers and beer brewers) which makes an art form out of collaborating and a Particular Point of inspiring change, to make sure tourism fires up social, economic and environmental Good Stuff for us all - and crucially, faces up to our combined existential threats: the climate and ecological emergency, and COVID19.
We're doing all we can to move information around to help people cope and remain resilient - you can see the COVID19 page below, just click and get stuck in.
Stay well in the meantime. We'll get through this together.

We started in Cornwall;and we've gone viral, with members collaborating on our on-line One Planet Tourism network from across more than 50 counties and 75 countries...that's a whole treasure chest of ideas and inspiration.
Our purpose?
To enable our communities to face into the climate, ecological and social emergencies we are now faced with, using our fabulous contacts and networks across the tourism industry and beyond to tell the truth; act now; and enable the sector to help build an alternative architecture that meets the crises, and leaves no-one behind. One hotel, one campsite, one boat-ride, one meal, one journey, one family, one visitor, one holiday at a time. Which means all businesses, and groups, and communities, from all tourism and non-tourism sectors, working collectively. And our job at CoaST is to try and help that happen. By collaboration, and collective clout.
Lots of small steps. One big impact. We are in an Emergency. As one member says, it now involves us all working together - Way Beyond Tourism. And we do this three ways: politely contributing/barging into policy development; delivering practical projects; and running our free online One Planet Tourism UK wide network.
And if you'd like to chat to us about our bespoke consultancy service, or find out more about our Ambassadors and Champions....it's just a click away......
We're here to help. In any flavour.
