UNWTO Asia/Pacific Executive Training Program on Tourism Policy and Strategy

UNWTO Asia/Pacific Executive Training Program on Tourism Policy and Strategy

The tourism industry in Asia and the Pacific is growing at an unprecedented rate. It is stated that travel has greatly changed in terms of both supply and demand.

The Member States should adjust their tourism policies based on these new developments to better strategize their tourism management, which is undoubtedly important for managing the constant-developing tourism industry on a long term basis. These policies must consider, among others, crisis management, visa simplification, and sustainability.

UNWTO has been holding the Asia Pacific Executive Training Program on Tourism Policy and Strategy as a first step towards achieving better governance and effective tourism management for the Member States. With great support of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea, this training program will serve as a forum for executives in the tourism sector of each Member State to share their knowledge and experiences in successful policy making and implementation which can later on become models for other Member States.
