Tourism and the SDGs

Tourism plays a fundamental role in the implementation of the UN’s Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as it is one of the largest industries in the world and has significant potential to generate employment, reduce poverty, and promote social and economic equality.

Additionally, tourism can help protect the environment, preserve cultural heritage, and strengthen global partnerships for sustainable development. By adopting sustainable practices, such as responsible management of natural resources, promotion of local culture, and community engagement, the tourism sector can make a significant contribution to achieving the SDGs and creating a fairer and more equitable world for present and future generations.
