Committed to Tourism, Travel and the Millennium Development Goals The 18th Session of the UNWTO General Assembly will

THE DAILY OF THE 18th SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY - Дневник Генеральной Ассамблеи from national tourism organizations, as well as public,
private and academic Affiliate Members
Astana, Kazakhstan, 5 – 8 October 2009
Set against the backdrop of the global economic crisis, the Assembly
has to face up to this challenge without losing sight of long-term
commitments such as poverty alleviation and climate change response,
said UNWTO Secretary-General ad interim, Taleb Rifai.
The Roadmap for Recovery was presented to the press as the UNWTO
“manifesto and framework for action”- focused on the resilience of the
travel and tourism sector, the need to acknowledge the part it has to
play in global stimulus packages, and the potential it has to make a
substantial contribution to a green economy.
The support given by the members to the initiative has been the key to
provide a coherent and evolving framework for responding to the current
economic crisis from both political and practical points of view.
Since the initial outbreak in April, the presence of the virus has been
confirmed in many parts of the world, threatening potentially serious
consequences for the tourism and travel industry.
Numbers of reported cases are expected to start rising this month as the
northern hemisphere enters its winter season.
The Roadmap –

The Roadmap for Recovery debate continued on Tuesday with

is designed to be a key instrument in steering tourism out of the
current crisis.
