INSCRIPTION - UNWTO Practicum sur “La communication de crises dans le tourisme”

The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) cordially invites its Member States to participate in the autumn edition of the 2015 UNWTO Practicum programme. This capacity building programme will include a workshop on Crisis Communications in Tourism and will be held in English, at the UNWTO headquarters in Spain (Madrid), and in the Principality of Andorra from 22 to 29 November 2015.

The UNWTO Practicum has the threefold objective of:

  • (a) building capacity of officials from the National Tourism Administrations of UNWTO Member States in their core areas of responsibility;

  • (b) familiarizing them with the UNWTO and UNWTO.Themis programmes of work and the activities and services provided therein; and

  • (c) creating the opportunity for networking between the participants and with the responsible UNWTO and UNWTO.Themis officials and staff.

In this way, NTA officials can obtain greater benefits from the added value which UNWTO offers its Members as well as having face-to-face contact with its officials in the different programme areas and regional programmes.

As indicated in the attached Information Note (below), air transport to Madrid for arrival and from Barcelona (Spain) for the return is to be covered by the country sending the participant, while accommodation and internal transport Madrid – Andorra – Barcelona will be covered by UNWTO.
