UNESCO and the TUI Care Foundation are launching a new global partnership to support communities and safeguard cultural and natural heritage in and around UNESCO World Heritage destinations - starting in Morocco and Zanzibar.

🌍 In Morocco, the partnership will support sustainable tourism around Ksar Aït Ben Haddou by encouraging longer visitor stays, supporting local artisans and tourism businesses, and developing cultural routes, storytelling tools and digital interpretation experiences rooted in local heritage.

🌍 In Zanzibar, the initiative will support sustainable cultural tourism in and around Stone Town through activities such as Forodhani Culture Nights, Zanzibar Your Creative Markets, Youth Heritage Ambassadors and the promotion of traditional expressions such as Taarab music.

Across both destinations, the partnership focuses on creating opportunities for women, young people, artists, artisans, cultural practitioners and local tourism entrepreneurs.

Together with UNESCO we aim to show how tourism can actively contribute to heritage preservation, community empowerment and sustainable development in World Heritage destinations.

Coral restoration doesn’t stop at planting 🪸

At the TUI Sea the Change Bali reef restoration site in Padangbai, our project partner Livingseas Foundation also carries out regular coral species counts to better understand how the reef is developing over time.

While fast-growing Acropora corals play an important role in rebuilding reef structure, the site has developed into a much richer ecosystem.

During the latest count, 140 different types of coral were recorded at the restoration site, including both planted corals and corals that have naturally settled on the reef structures.

Why does this matter?

🌊 Greater coral diversity helps make reefs more resilient. A reef with many different coral types is better equipped to adapt to pressures such as rising sea temperatures, pollution and other environmental changes.

🪸 Natural coral recruitment is an encouraging sign that the restored reef is becoming a place where corals and marine life can return and grow.

Swipe to discover a few of the coral types found at the TUI Sea the Change Bali reef restoration site. 👉

On Africa Day, 🌍 together with UN Tourism, we highlight Thomas Ellerbeck, Chairman of the TUI Care Foundation, and a shared vision for tourism and creatives across Africa.

Through the Small Grants Programme, enabled by the TUI Care Foundation, local artisans are supported to gain better access to tourism markets.

Together, UN Tourism and the TUI Care Foundation are driving inclusive growth and lasting impact across Africa 🤝

We’ve found something incredible inside restored corals in Bali… 👀

During scientific reef monitoring, our TUI Sea the Change Bali project partner Livingseas Foundation discovered coral eggs in several planted coral colonies! 🥚

Why is this so exciting? 👇

It means these restored corals are not only surviving - they are beginning to reproduce.

The eggs were found in older coral colonies planted a few years ago, at a depth of approximately 7 metres.

This marks an important milestone for the reef restoration site, showing that the ecosystem is maturing and taking steps towards becoming more self-sustaining.

With coral spawning expected soon, this discovery brings hope for the continued recovery of Bali’s reefs and the biodiversity they support. 🐠

From coral fragments to tourism experiences 🌊🪸

Coral reefs are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet - but they are increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution and human activity. In Aruba, reef degradation is already impacting marine biodiversity and the communities that depend on healthy ocean ecosystems.

Together with ScubbleBubbles Foundation, the TUI Care Foundation is launching TUI Sea the Change Aruba to help restore damaged reef areas while making marine conservation more accessible and engaging for local communities and visitors alike. 🤝

At the heart of the project is an innovative coral restoration approach 👇

A coral nursery helps grow coral fragments before they are transplanted onto degraded reef areas, supporting the recovery of marine habitats and biodiversity around Aruba. Alongside restoration work, the project also creates training and employment opportunities linked to marine conservation. 💡

And the initiative goes beyond underwater restoration 🐠

This summer, a new land-based experience centre will open, giving local residents, school groups and tourists the chance to actively engage in coral restoration through hands-on learning, workshops and educational activities.

Through these combined efforts, TUI Sea the Change Aruba is expected to reach up to 35,000 people, showing how tourism can actively contribute to ocean conservation while creating meaningful visitor experiences. ✨

💙 The initiative is launched as part of the TUI Care Foundation’s Marine May - a month dedicated to ocean preservation and the protection of marine ecosystems for future generations.

Scaling up the protection of Mediterranean monk seals in Türkiye 🦭

Along Türkiye’s south-western coast, only around 100 Mediterranean monk seals are estimated to remain. These endangered animals depend on quiet coastal caves and healthy seagrass meadows - habitats increasingly threatened by boat traffic, anchoring and coastal development.

Together with the Mediterranean Conservation Society (Akdeniz Koruma Derneği), the TUI Care Foundation is launching the second phase of TUI Sea the Change Türkiye to protect and restore around 200,000 m² of coastal and marine habitat from Fethiye–Göcek to Kaş. 🌊

Building on the project’s first phase, this next chapter combines cave monitoring, underwater sound recordings, seagrass mapping, restoration and regular patrols with hands-on engagement across the tourism sector.

By working with 20 tourism-related organisations and engaging local communities, schoolchildren and visitors, the project shows how tourism can actively support marine conservation - helping protect the habitats that make destinations so special. 🌍

For International Day of Plant Health, we’re looking below the surface 🌊

Along many Mediterranean coastlines, Posidonia oceanica is quietly protecting the places people love to visit. This remarkable marine plant helps reduce coastal erosion, stabilise the seabed, store carbon and provide shelter for marine life.

It also grows extremely slowly - in some cases only around 1 cm per year - which means damaged meadows cannot recover quickly.

That’s why through TUI Sea the Change Balearics, we’re working together with the Marilles Foundation to help restore shallow water bays and protect seagrass meadows in the Balearic Islands. 🌱

To protect the plants that support life in ways we don’t always see. 💚
