We co-create and promote smart, sustainable places, experiences and practices
Our history
Millennium Destinations (MD) was first 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 expert network engaged in the development and promotion of tourism destinations, businesses and products / experiences.
Early 2016, Millennium Destinations was incorporated as Millennium Destinations Ltd., a Seoul-based boutique agency offering creative business services and solutions for global marketing, communications, PR, event planning, sustainable business development, and capacity-building and training 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.
Since 2018, Millennium Destinations has been co-developing Herost, as a global online platform and network for co-creating, sharing and promoting sustainable, community-based travel experiences, dedicated to the development and empowerment of local host communities.
Our vision: harmony, equity and sustainability as core principles
Our mission: to inspire and empower people and communities towards sustainable tourism places, experiences and practices
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.
