18-04-23

UNWTO has continued its focus on investing in more resilient and sustainable tourism by strengthening its cooperation with both the international community and the private sector.

In this context, UNWTO has joined the World Investment Alliance for Development (WIDA). As part of the Alliance, UNWTO will work to improve both the level and effectiveness of investment in the sector with the objective of supporting and accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals.

UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili says: "Investment is too often the missing ingredient to make our shared plans for a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient tourism sector a reality. UNWTO is proud to join the Global Investors Partnership for Development and we look forward to working together to rethink and transform investment in tourism".
