Global Calendar of Statistical Events

Organizer(s): UNWTO Department of Tourism Philippines

Description: Measuring the sustainability of tourism (MST) aims to bring to all countries in the world a common framework to measure the impacts and dependencies of tourism on the economy, society and the environment. This is essential to better understand the role of tourism in sustainable development and to pragmatically monitor progress, especially in the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals. With new situations emerging from the unprecedented covid-19 pandemic, tourism restarts with sustainability as the new normal. Being able to properly measure the sustainability of the tourism sector for monitoring relevant policies has become crucial. In the meantime, the tourism industry have shown an increased commitment to implementing sustainability concepts and measures in recent years. These underline the need for the development of the MST. Therefore, UNWTO jointly organizes the UNWTO Asia-Pacific Workshop on Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism with the Department of Tourism of the Philippines. This event is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea.
