Create a sustainable future: Join forces to unlock the power of tourism for good.


"I'm an optimist that we can create a better world, and I realized that tourism can be a very good multiplicator for that world."


Andreas Koch has 25 years of experience in the sustainable tourism industry. He is the co-founder of the companies blueContec and Tourythm, which works to make travel a force for good.


Andreas Koch, a biologist and environmental management policy student, saw the potential for tourism to spread values of sustainability. For thirteen years he worked at TUI, a big European travel company, and co-founded a sustainable tourism NGO.


He works with destinations, hotels and corporations to create a sustainability “rhythm” by connecting guests, employees, suppliers and local farmers. Through his long track-record in this space and by experiencing the changes during this time, Andreas sees tourism as a chance to create a better world.
