O le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative e tu'ufa'atasia le vaega o tagata tafafao i tua atu o se va'aiga masani e fo'ia ai mafua'aga o le filogia. E mafai ai e pisinisi ma malo ona faia ni gaioiga tuʻufaʻatasia, e taʻitaʻia e ala i faʻataʻitaʻiga i le suiga agai i se tamaoaiga faʻataʻamilomilo mo palasitika.

I le avea ai ma sui o le Komiti Faufautua mo le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, ua fesoasoani le Travel Foundation i le faʻatupuina o le fuafuaga, e aofia ai lana lisi o tautinoga mo faʻalapotopotoga o turisi. O mea nei e aofia ai:

• fa'aogaina le filifili fa'atau e aga'i atu i le 100% o afifi palasitika ina ia toe fa'aoga, toe fa'aaogaina, pe fa'apala;
• faia o gaioiga e fa'ateleina ai le aofa'i o mea toe fa'aaogaina i totonu o pusa palasitika uma ma mea na fa'aaogaina;
• ta'utino atu e galulue fa'atasi ma teu fa'afaigaluega e fa'ateleina le tau toe fa'aaogaina ma fa'apala mo palasitika;

Jeremy Sampson, Pule Sili o le Travel Foundation, fai mai:

“E ala i le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, o loʻo matou faia ai se fesoʻotaʻiga lagolago mo pisinisi ma malo e tapunia ai le faʻaogaina o palasitika. O le Travel Foundation e iai ose faamaumauga umi o le manuia o le galulue faatasi ma faletalimalo ma isi pisinisi e faaitiitia a latou palasitika ma isi otaota. O le taimi nei o le matou taulaiga i totonu Cyprus, Mauritius ma Saint Lucia, lea o lo'o matou galulue ai i faiga fa'avae ma tulaga fa'atino. O le masina nei o Me, faatasi ai ma a tatou paaga i Slovenia, o le a matou taloina se faʻalavelave e faʻapotopoto ai tagata lautele ma tagata tumaoti ma tagata tomai faʻavaomalo, e faʻaulu i luma lo latou faʻamoemoe e faʻaumatia pe toe faʻaaogaina mea palasitika i turisi.

Fausiaina e le Sustainable Tourism Programme a le One Planet network, o se faiga faapaaga e to'atele o tagata e fa'atino le sini tau atina'e gafataulimaina i le Sustainable Consumption and Production (SDG 12), o le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative o lo'o galue e avea ma atina'e o turisi a le New Plastics Economy Global. Tautinoga, lea e tuʻufaʻatasia ai le silia ma le 450 pisinisi, malo, ma isi faʻalapotopotoga i tua atu o se vaʻaiga masani ma faʻamoemoega e foia ai lapisi palasitika ma le filogia i lona puna. O lea la, o le a fa'atinoina e le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative le Va'aiga Fou a le Plastics Economy, fa'ava'a ma fa'amatalaga e fa'agaoioia ai le alamanuia tau turisi i le lalolagi atoa e aga'i atu i gaioiga taua e tetee atu i le filogia o palasiti.

Ligia Noronha, UN Environment Program Economy Division Director, fai mai:

“O le filogia o palasitika ose tasi lea o lu’itau tele o le si’osi’omaga i o tatou taimi, ma e iai le sao taua o turisi i le sao i le fofo. E ala i le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, o kamupani turisi ma nofoaga o loʻo lagolagoina e faʻafouina, faʻaumatia ma faʻasalalau le auala latou te faʻaogaina ai palasitika, e fesoasoani ai e ausia le taamilosaga i le faʻaogaina o palasitika ma faʻaitiitia ai le filogia i le lalolagi atoa.

Fai mai Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili, Failautusi Aoao o le Faalapotopotoga o Tagata Tafafao Maimoa a le Lalolagi, o le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative o se avanoa sili lea mo kamupani tafafao maimoa ma taunuuga e laa i luma ma taʻitaʻia le taumafaiga a le lalolagi e foia ai le filogia o palasitisi:

"O kamupani faʻasalalau faʻatasi ma nofoaga o loʻo faʻatautaia ai o le a faʻatulagaina sini faʻatusatusa e avea o se vaega o le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative ma faʻavaveina le suiga o le vaega o turisi agai atu i ni fofo tuʻufaʻatasia ma faʻataʻitaʻiga pisinisi faʻasalalau".

O le fuafuaga a le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative e taofi le palasitika e iu i le filogia ae faʻaititia foi le aofaʻi o palasitika fou e manaʻomia ona gaosia. Ina ia fa'ataunu'uina lea va'aiga, ua ta'utino kamupani ma nofoaga o turisi e fa'aumatia mea palasitika latou te le mana'omia; fa'afou ina ia fa'atulaga uma iila latou te mana'omia ina ia fa'aoga saogalemu, toe fa'aaogaina, pe fa'apala; ma fa'asalalau mea uma latou te fa'aogaina e teu ai i totonu o le tamaoaiga ma fafo atu o le si'osi'omaga.

Gerald Naber, New Plastics Economy Global Commitment Program Manager, fai mai:

“O le New Plastics Economy Global Commitment ua tuʻufaʻatasia ai le silia ma le 450 pisinisi, malo ma isi i tua atu o se vaʻaiga manino o se tamaoaiga faʻataʻamilo mo palasitika. Matou te faʻafeiloaia le faʻalauiloaina o le Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, taʻitaʻia e UNEP ma UNWTO, lea e tuʻufaʻatasia ai le vaega o tagata tafafao maimoa i tua atu o lenei vaʻaiga mo se lalolagi e le mafai ona avea palasitika ma otaota poʻo le filogia. O le a avea o se faigamalaga faigata, ae e ala i le galulue faatasi, e mafai ona tatou faʻaumatia palasitika tatou te le manaʻomia ma faʻafouina, ina ia mafai ai ona saogalemu ma faigofie le faʻasalalauina o palasitika tatou te manaʻomia - taofia i le tamaoaiga ma fafo atu o le siosiomaga.

E ala i le fa'asolo atu i le fa'aogaina o palasitika, e mafai ai e le vaega o tagata tafafao maimoa ona faia ni sao lelei e pei o le fa'aitiitia o le fa'atama'i, fa'aleaganu'u, fa'aleagaina o puna'oa fa'alenatura ma le kasa oona; si'itia le fa'asao i le va o le aufaigaluega ma malo e aloese mai oloa palasitika e tasi fa'aoga; fa'aosoina a latou fa'atau oloa ina ia fa'atupuina isi mea e sili atu ona gafataulimaina i oloa palasitika fa'aoga tasi; galulue faatasi ma malo e faaleleia atinae tetele o otaota i le lotoifale ma nofoaga o nuu; ma le fa'atupuina o le ola gafataulimaina ma le manuia o nu'u mo se taimi umi e ogatasi ma le natura.

I le faia o gaioiga ogaoga i se faiga tuʻufaʻatasia ma mausali i luga o le palasitika faʻafitauli, o le turisi vaega mafai ona fesoasoani faʻasao ma puipuia nofoaga ma manu feʻai o loʻo faia nofoaga aoga taua asiasi.
