Masterclasses: a full bank of masterclasses will enable villages to improve their sustainable tourism skills and practices.

Interactive communication: the platform enables real-time interaction, allowing villagers to engage in meaningful conversations, ask questions and collaborate effortlessly.

Event hub: villages can showcase their events and stay informed about special occasions, fostering a sense of community through information sharing.

Zorista Urosevic, UNWTO Executive Director, says: "UNWTO is empowering rural communities by providing them with a digital space where they can converse, collaborate, learn collectively and contribute to the sustainable development of their regions. The communities in our Best Tourism Villages Network now have an unprecedented experience. access to a space where they can communicate, share and learn from their peers globally."
