03-10-22
The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the Indonesian G20 Presidency and the G20 Tourism Working Group have worked over the past year to present, at the G20 Tourism Ministers' meeting in Bali, the G20 Guidelines on Strengthening MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) and Communities as Agents of Transformation in Tourism.
Participating in the G20 Tourism Ministers' meeting, UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili explained: "Our sector has now reached almost 60% of pre-pandemic levels". However, "we are lagging behind in our efforts to achieve the climate action targets of the Paris Agreement. We are also lagging behind in progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals," he stresses.
