Tourism is one of the fastest growing and most resilient socioeconomic sectors of our times. It accounts for 7% of global trade. Outpacing the global economy over the last decade, it generates millions of jobs both directly and indirectly. However, its benefits, including enhanced employment and gender opportunities, still need to be fully deployed. Under the leadership of the 2020 G20 Saudi Presidency, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the G20 Tourism Working Group have developed the AlUla Framework for Inclusive Community Development through Tourism to help fulfil the sector’s potential to contribute to and achieve inclusive community development and the Sustainable Development Goals. The Framework provides guidance and inspiration to all governments, as well as all other key stakeholders in the tourism sector – including regional and local governments, the private sector, industry associations, civil society, communities and tourists – with the aim of fostering a truly holistic and integrated approach to inclusive community development through tourism. Placing inclusive community development at the heart of tourism policies through education, investment, innovation and technology can transform the livelihoods of many millions, while also preserving our environment and our culture and drive a more inclusive and sustainable recovery of tourism. |
