People around the world like to travel and explore new lands. Travelling provides lessons in life that no textbooks can offer. While tourism can contribute significantly to the growth of a nation’s economy, it can also damage the environment. Here’s where the work of the World Tourism Organisation comes in.
It focuses on the promotion of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism.
The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) sees tourism as a major factor of economic growth. Therefore, it offers leadership and support to the tourism sector in advancing knowledge. It also makes tourism policies worldwide that would improve the contribution of tourism to the socio-economic development.
