\"UNWTO<\/p>\n

T<\/span>he World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) hosted a high-level virtual meeting bringing together key UN agencies, the chairs of its Executive Council and Regional Commissions, and private sector leaders. Tourism is the economic sector that has been hardest hit by COVID-19 and all participants accepted an invitation from the UNWTO Secretary-General to become part of a Global Tourism Crisis Committee, formed as UNWTO prepares to launch a global guide for recovery. The UNWTO-led Committee will hold regular virtual meetings, reflecting the need for coordinated and efficient action by the private and public sectors, governments, international financing institutions, and the United Nations.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the pandemic, UNWTO has been working closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) to guide the tourism sector as it faces up to the COVID-19 challenge. This meeting, hosted in Madrid but conducted virtually for reasons of public health, further emphasized the call for international cooperation to underscore a united response<\/strong> based on the latest public health recommendations and reflecting the deep economic ripple effect and social cost of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Global Tourism Crisis Committee<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The participants accepted UNWTO\u2019s invitation to be part a global coordination committee<\/strong> which will hold regular virtual meetings to evaluate and advance recommendations as the situation evolves.<\/p>\n

The UN\u2019s key tourism related agencies will all be participating, along with WHO and the main representatives of the airline and maritime transportation sectors, as well as the private sector.<\/p>\n

UNWTO members are a critical part of this committee, represented through the regional chairs and the chair of the Executive Council.<\/p>\n
