\"Foreign<\/p>\n

The chief of the UN\u00a0tourism agency and South Korea’s top diplomat and have held talks over bilateral cooperation to\u00a0establish an international organisation to use sustainable tourism to fight poverty.<\/p>\n

Taleb Rifai (left in photo), the secretary-general of the U.N. World Tourism Organization, met with South Korea’s Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se (on right) signed an “agreed minute” over the establishment of the International Sustainable Tourism-Eliminating Poverty (ST-EP) Organisation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new organisation would be\u00a0an outgrowth of the ST-EP Foundation, a UNWTO project headquartered in Seoul since 2004 that seeks to achieve the UN goals of developing sustainable tourism resources to help fight poverty around the world.<\/p>\n

The initiative\u00a0is\u00a0built around 115 sustainable tourism projects in Africa, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East, in close collaboration with the local Governments, national authorities, NGOs, organisations and enterprises in the beneficiary countries. The projects include a wide range of activities, such as training of local guides and hotel employees, establishing business linkages between poor producers and tourism enterprises, amongst others.<\/p>\n
