IN THE WORLD
Tourism organizations play a vital role in shaping and promoting tourism policies, fostering regional cooperation, and preserving cultural heritage. Below are three key organizations that contribute significantly to these efforts:
UN Tourism
UN Tourism is the United Nations agency responsible for the promotion of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism, serving as a global forum to address and resolve tourism policy issues.
Arab Tourism Organization (ATO)
As a part of the League of Arab States (LAS), ATO promotes tourism in the Arab area, and to this end coordinates all efforts to draw up a unified Arab tourist policy - providing members with all possible services and assisting them to acquire professionalism by supplying them with relevant studies and information. It also removes obstacles to the expansion of tourism.
Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe
This program showcases Europe’s rich cultural heritage through a network of themed routes, promoting cultural tourism and fostering transnational cooperation.
