UNWTO Regional Ministerial Conference
This year the Joint Commission Meeting will take place in conjunction with the UNWTO Regional Ministerial Conference on Positioning Tourism in a Wider Socio-economic Context which is being organised with two main objectives:
- to take stock of the extent to which UNWTO’s Open Letter initiative has achieved its main objective of advocating that countries duly recognise the socio-economic contribution of tourism to their national economies;
- and to examine national policies that will engender strategies to ensure that the projected growth in tourism demand will translate into socio-economic benefits for non-tourism sectors of Asia-Pacific economies.
The Ministers of Tourism from across the Asia Pacific region will also discuss and debate the next steps in strengthening government awareness and support to enable advancement of the tourism sector.
Ultimately, through open sharing of national and regional insights, experience and expertise, the Ministerial Dialogue will uncover and unlock valuable individual and cooperative solutions to assist tourism leaders in moving their sector, and national agendas forward.
The preliminary programme for the Regional Ministerial Conference can be found below in 'General Document' section.
