UNWTO Launches Travel Enjoy Respect campaign for Sustainable Tourism Year
As part of the International Year on Sustainable Tourism for Development, 2017, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is launching a global consumer-oriented campaign aimed at raising awareness of the value and contribution that sustainable tourism can make towards development.
The ‘Travel.Enjoy.Respect’ campaign wants to engage tourists in making the sector a catalyst for positive change.
Says UNWTO Secretary-General, Taleb Rifai: "Whenever you travel, wherever you travel, remember to: respect nature, respect culture, and respect your host. You can be the change you want to see in the world. You can be an ambassador for a better future. TRAVEL, ENJOY AND RESPECT."
‘Tips for a Responsible Traveller’, provides travellers with a set of recommendations to help them make responsible choices when travelling and have a positive impact on the destinations they visit.
"Today more than ever, ensuring that tourism is an enriching experience for visitors and hosts alike demands strong, sustainable tourism policies and practices and the engagement of national, as well as local, governments and administrations, private sector companies, local communities and tourists themselves," said Mr. Rifai.
Destinations and companies from around the world are invited to join the campaign and celebrate the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development with a commitment from the sector to ‘Travel.Enjoy.Respect’.
