The XXIV Inter-AmericanCongress of Ministers and High-Level
Authorities of Tourism to be held in Georgetown, Guyana, March 21-22,
2018 is being organized in conjunction with the Government of Guyana under the
theme "Connecting the Americas through Sustainable Tourism.”
The Inter-American Congress of Ministers and High-Level
Authorities of Tourism brings together the highest tourism authorities of the
hemisphere as well as representatives from the private sector, academia and
civil society.
The Congress was established in 1939 and is the principal
hemispheric forum for dialogue and formulation of tourism policy in the
Americas. It predates the creation of the Organization of American States, which
occurred in 1948, and the entry into force of the Charter of the OAS, in
December 1951. The Congress was designed to promote sustainable tourism
development in the Americas, through the organization of a series of meetings to
address relevant technical hemispheric issues and to develop inter-American
cooperation in tourism.
The Congress serves as an important platform for the
exchange of experiences and practices, and provides a mechanism to support
technical studies, strengthen communication between government agencies and the
private sector, consider technical cooperation proposals, and support member
states in their efforts to develop the tourism sector. The Inter-American
Congress of Ministers and High-Level Authorities of Tourism promotes the
adoption of formal agreements among governments in relation to the tourism
industry, encourages comparative studies and technical projects focusing on
sustainable tourism development, and coordinates activities of intergovernmental
and private organizations in the area of tourism development.
The XXIV Inter-American Congress will have the following
four sub-themes to be discussed in separate plenaries:
Forging Strategic Business
Alliances for Developing Sustainable Tourism
Importance of Product
Innovation in Connecting the Americas
Multi-Destination Travel
to Promote Market Opportunities
BuildingResilience in the Tourism Sector in the
Americas
Each sub-theme will have subject matter experts from
government, private sector and academia. Ministers and high-level tourism
authorities will have the opportunity to interact with top executives from
transport and other sectors of the industry to explore opportunities for
establishing business alliances to develop sustainable tourism.
