Inclusive tourism destinations report launched
New UNWTO Global Report on Inclusive Tourism Destinations launched on UN Day 2018
A new report by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, presents a model for inclusive tourism destinations. ‘Global Report on Inclusive Tourism: Model and success stories" was launched on the UN Day 2018
Tourism integrating disadvantaged groups and benefitting from its activity, is at the centre of this report.
The report shows how tourism can function as a vehicle for sustainable development, and the reduction of poverty and inequality, in the context of the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It is claimed that model for inclusive tourism destinations presented in this global Report contributes directly to SDG 8 – Decent work and economic growth and SDG 10 – Reduction of inequalities; but also to SDG 5 – Gender equality and SDG 17 – Global partnership for sustainable development.
"As globalization, interconnectivity and a growing middle class leads to ever more people travelling, the world will continue seeming to get smaller and inclusion will become even more of a priority," said UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili. He added that this publication "will serve as an important tool for the tourism community to create and promote inclusion in destinations, and a valuable reference for all tourism stakeholders in developing best practices for a more inclusive sector".
The report highlights the need to foster discussion on and examine new approaches to inclusive tourism in order to drive tourism’s long-term sustainability.
