The meeting was held at UNWTO headquarters in Madrid last 20-21 October.<\/p>\n<p>The first meeting of the Working Group of Experts on Measuring Sustainable Tourism (MST) agreed that developing a statistical framework for sustainable tourism is a priority to support integrated policy responses at national and destination level, and urged UNWTO to lead this effort.<\/p>\n<p>The Group agreed that the core rationale for developing a statistical framework is to support the measurement of sustainable tourism in its various dimensions (economic, environmental and social) and at the relevant spatial levels (global, national, sub-national) by providing a common language and organizing structure for exploiting the richness of data already available and for identifying additional data that may be needed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Sustainable Development Goals and the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development 2017 constitute a unique opportunity to advance sustainable, inclusive and responsible tourism; developing a statistical framework to measure sustainable tourism is essential in fostering a common understanding for tracking our progress,\u201d said UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai. \u201cTourism stakeholders at large will benefit from having a statistical framework for sustainable tourism much like we all benefit from the TSA which provides the framework for tourism\u2019s economic contribution\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/statistics.unwto.org\/mst\" target=\"_blank\">Towards a Statistical
