About us
Our history
Millennium Destinations (MD) was launched in 2010 by Catherine GERMIER-HAMEL as a blog aimed at promoting sustainable tourism initiatives and destinations around the world, particularly in developing countries.
The main purpose was to give more exposure to less-known destinations so that they can actually attract visitors, while sharing practical solutions and insights on the contribution of tourism to global sustainable development and the achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals.
In 2014, Millennium Destinations became an international network of experts dedicated to the sustainable development and promotion of tourism destinations, businesses and products / experiences.
Early 2016, Millennium Destinations was incorporated as Millennium Destinations Ltd., a Seoul-based consulting firm offering creative solutions of marketing, communications, business development, and event planning to its clients and partners, mainly in the field of travel, tourism, hospitality, F&B, and MICE, towards the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Our vision: sustainability, responsibility, and equity as universal values and default options for travel and tourism.
Our mission: to contribute to the spreading of sustainable consumption & production (SCP) patterns in the tourism industry, and to promote tourism destinations, businesses and products that have a positive net impact on the planet and its people, towards well-being, happiness, balance, harmony and identity.
Because tourism activities are human activities, Millennium Destinations is mostly focusing on culture, lifestyle, people-centered, demand / behavioral approaches, as well as participatory processes encouraging concerted efforts and permanent interactions / consultations among all stakeholders, and mutual enrichment for the tourists and host communities.
Millennium Destinations is particularly committed to supporting Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups, young and/or female entrepreneurs, social businesses, non-profit organizations, associations and cooperatives, etc. in their efforts to develop their markets and brand image, domestically and internationally.

Our logo
Millennium Destinations' logo has been designed by French Visual Artist and Fine Art Photographer Ulla Reimer. Originally depicting a play of light on the macadam, this image can be interpreted as a window and a way towards sustainability.
