OAS and UNWTO Sign Cooperation Agreement on Matters of Tourism
May 18, 2011
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, and the Secretary General of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), Taleb Rifai, signed a cooperation agreement to strengthen collaboration, the exchange of information, and collaborative work by the two organizations in activities such as consulting on issues of common interest and training in OAS Member States.
In particular, the agreement establishes a regulatory framework for: 1. facilitating collaboration in the development of sustainable tourism policies; 2. strengthening institutional governmental capacities; 3. developing and implementing projects of joint research; 4. exchanging professional personnel for the strengthening of study and research programs; 5. collecting statistical tourism data; 6. establishing competitiveness indicators; and 7. creating tourism security and media diffusion programs, among others.
The agreement was made through the OAS Department of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism, which along with the UNWTO recognizes the importance of developing sustainable tourism policies, promoting productivity and competitiveness of the entire sector, and strengthen the development of public policies for the tourism sector.
The UNWTO is a specialized body of the United Nations headquartered in Madrid, Spain, and seeks among other things the promotion and development of tourism to contribute to economic development, international understanding, peace, prosperity, and universal respect.
A ceremony to countersign this cooperation agreement will be held during the 19th Inter-American Tourism Congress to be held September 29 and 30, 2011, in San Salvador, El Salvador, with the presence of the two Secretary Generals and high-level authorities from the host country.
