UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO)

The UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes responsible, sustainable, and universally accessible tourism. It aims to encourage global tourism development, support job creation, and foster economic growth, while also preserving cultural heritage and the environment. The UNWTO provides guidelines, research, and data to help countries improve their tourism sectors and policies. By promoting cooperation among governments and the private sector, it seeks to enhance the contribution of tourism to achieving broader goals, such as poverty reduction and sustainable development.
