Impact Makers
Meet the Changemakers
Between 2012 and 2024, we featured sustainable tourism impact makers from around the world, highlighting their work, challenges and progress.

The initiative ran from 2012 to 2024 and is no longer actively maintained or updated. The website remains online as an archive of interviews, destination showcases and editorial insights created over more than a decade of work in sustainable tourism.
Founded by Dr. Florian Kaefer, Sustainability Leaders United brought together changemakers from around the world and contributed to the early global conversation on sustainability, regeneration and responsible destination development.
All content below reflects the period in which the project was active. We will integrate a small selection of destination-related stories and insights into PlaceBrandObserver.com, which is where the momentum continues 🙂
We believe in sharing stories, experiences and solutions. And we love to inspire and encourage tourism professionals to embrace sustainability.
We take pride in connecting changemakers around the world, across borders, languages and cultures. We can all learn so much from each other!
