        Britain's Prince Harry said it was crucial the travel industry did better by the local communities in vacation destinations or there would be no tourism business at all in the future.
        
        Speaking at the annual general meeting of Travalyst, an initiative he launched in 2019 with the aim of making the travel industry more sustainable, King Charles' son said it was crucial to do more for those on whom the industry depended.
        
        "Travel and tourism relies on destinations, held together by communities, without which we have nowhere to travel to," said Harry, who appeared by videolink from his home in California.
        
        "Communities are the beating heart of travel, and we must do better by the people who are the custodians of the places we visit."
