via Unesco, 02 March 2021: Another free book, a short publication produced by Unesco and UNWTO on post-covid recovery for cultural tourism sites. The publication can be downloaded here.
New guidelines developed by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in cooperation with UNESCO outline how tourism and culture stakeholders can work together to support the inclusive recovery of cultural tourism, as countries around the world respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The publication, entitled UNWTO Inclusive Recovery Guide, Issue 2: Cultural Tourism, draws on the insights and expertise of the two UN agencies to analyse the impact of the pandemic on their respective sectors. This includes how lost tourism revenues are severely impacting communities, heritage sites, cultural events, spaces and institutions, while also weakening competitiveness and market differentiation of destinations. The guidelines on cultural tourism also stress the need for support from policymakers to ensure the relevance of culture in the emergency and contingency planning within tourism destinations.
