Fitur 2010 will be hosting an international seminar in which UNWTO's Roadmap for Recovery will be debated.
Following the success of last year’s seminar on the new challenges facing the global economy, on 21 January 2010, the UNWTO Affiliate Members’ Secretariat has organized an international seminar – “Prospects and Solutions for Stimulating Recovery”, to which a highly qualified group of tourism industry experts have been invited with the aim of putting forward and analyzing proposals contributing to giving more depth to the Roadmap for Recovery, one of the main tourism policy whitepapers drawn up by UNWTO, which was unanimously passed at the last General Meeting held in Kazakhstan.
The experts will be divided into two panels to debate two of the principal recommendations from the UNWTO’s Roadmap for Recovery. The first panel will voice their opinions on how to understand the market and respond rapidly in the most effective way. Following this, another panel will discuss how to contribute to the recovery of the global tourist industry, with an accent on the European tourist industry.
In the words of Javier Blanco, Executive Director of UNWTO Affiliate Members: “Participants in this seminar will hear practical and motivating views from a range of experts who work at the forefront of some of the world’s most dynamic tourism companies and organizations. We are very pleased to have with us at the seminar a prestigious group of people who will offer us their valuable opinions on how to continue developing a more responsible and competitive tourism industry.”
