Lyndall De Marco

Executive Director

Lyndall De Marco is the Executive Director of the International Tourism Partnership (ITP)  founded fifteen years ago by HRH The Prince of Wales. It is the tourism  programme of the charity organisation IBLF. Since its inception ITP has provided leadership to hotel and tourism companies on environmental issues, at the same time provided a non-competitive platform for the sharing of ideas and the implementation of strategies that will benefit the industry  

Under her leadership the ITP has developed an array of practical tools and initiatives, including Sustainable Hotel Siting, Design and Construction guiding principles, a Sustainable performance operations tool, the going green initiative as well as cutting edge community investment strategies and programmes. Many programmes, such as the environmental benchmarking tool and environment management for hotels have significantly advanced the industry awareness and treatment of environmental issues.
 
Formerly a Corporate Director with Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts, Lyndall  was involved in the opening of 10 hotels and was herself for a time general manager of hotels in Bangladesh, Borneo and Malaysia. She founded the Youth Career Initiative in 1995. This unique programme, taught in international standard hotels has provided employability skills to disadvantaged youth in over nine countries.

Lyndall is constantly speaking publicly on the role of the hotel and tourism industry as a “force for good” and with 14 years experience in the  industry, is of the absolute belief  that profitability and sustainability can walk hand in hand.
