The UNWTO has stressed the importance of tourism and technology and the opportunities it presents for innovation and for creating the jobs of the future, in its 63rd European Commission meeting. The UNWTO Secretary-General Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili said that the Organization aims to make innovation its primary focus, gearing up towards a more sustainable and responsible tourism sector.
While discussing innovation and digital transformation, Pololikashvili made his vision clear to create an ecosystem of government policies, funds and strategic projects that nurture disruptive ideas and entrepreneurship.
“Together we can set a vision that considers tourism as a policy priority, a knowledge creator and innovator, and a sector of maximum value for all”, said Pololikashvili.
This year’s World Tourism Day, on September 27, will focus on tourism and digital transformation. Celebrations will take place in Budapest, Hungary and worldwide.
Also at the meeting, UNWTO outlined plans for improving skills, education and specialized tourism training under the newly-launched UNWTO.
