Dear Affiliate Members,
I am pleased to introduce the latest edition of the Affiliate Members Newsletter. This monthly publication will keep you updated on the latest news, events, and initiatives related to your membership and the Affiliate Members network. Also included is the calendar of events for 2025, featuring key UN Tourism events.
The upcoming months will be rich in events and initiatives for our Affiliate Members, especially as we prepare to host the elections for the Affiliate Members Board for the 2026- 2029 mandate, the representative body of all Affiliate Members in the Organization. I strongly encourage all Affiliate Members to stay tuned to AMConnected+ to stay up to date with news and updates regarding this important topic.
I would also like to highlight the high level of engagement by our Affiliate Members during the recently celebrated UN Tourism Statutory Meetings and Thematic Events. I look forward to the same promising results in the upcoming UN Tourism Statutory Meetings:
- Regional Commission for Asia and the Pacific (15-16 April, in Jakarta, Indonesia)
- Regional Commission for Europe (4-6 June, in Baku, Azerbaijan)
- 123rd UN Tourism Executive Council (29-30 May, Segovia, Spain)
- Regional Commission for Africa (11-13 June, in Abuja, Federal Republic of Nigeria)
- Regional Commission for the Americas (8-10 -TBC- July, Lima, Peru)
I am pleased to share that the new tools and functionalities of the AMConnected+ platform have received very positive feedback from Affiliate Members. In particular, the new AMConnected+ app, available for iOS and Android, allowing to stay connected to the network on the go from mobile devices, anywhere and at any time.
As we continue into 2025—a landmark year celebrating the 50th Anniversary of UN Tourism—I invite you to stay connected through the AMConnected+ platform, where you can find updates, resources, and opportunities to collaborate with other valued Affiliate Members and in the main UN Tourism’s initiatives and projects.
From the Affiliate Members and Public-Private Collaboration Department, we remain committed to supporting your projects and initiatives to the best of our abilities. We welcome your comments and feedback at any time.
Sincerely,
Ion Vilcu
Director
