Established in 1975, its main goal is to enhance the economic and social benefits of tourism while preserving cultural and natural heritage.
The organization provides leadership and support to countries in developing their tourism sectors. It conducts research, offers training, and sets global standards to improve tourism policies. By fostering international cooperation, the UNWTO aims to ensure that tourism contributes positively to global development and the well-being of communities.
