The 23rd session of the General Assembly will feature the 4th edition of the UNWTO Tourism Video Competition.

The importance of multimedia for tourism communications cannot be underestimated. This is especially true against the backdrop of ever-growing digitalization, changing viewer and user habits and the consolidation of mobile-first strategies.

The competition will feature two categories:

  • “Outstanding Country Promotional Videos”, paying tribute to the importance of multimedia for marketing tourism destinations; and
  • “Exceptional Stories of Sustainable Tourism”, a new category, aimed underscoring tourism’s contribution to sustainable development, in line with UNWTO’s commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

For both categories, one winning video per region will be selected.

Member States are encouraged to submit videos for both categories. Affiliate Members are encouraged to submit videos for the new “Exceptional Stories of Sustainable Tourism” category.

Member States are encouraged to submit videos for both categories, thereby contributing to further positioning tourism as a key sector for the economy, business opportunities, jobs and overall sustainable development.

The winners of the 4th edition of the UNWTO Tourism Video Competition will be announced during the 23rd session of the General Assembly.
