Description
A joint effort by UNWTO, UNDP and other partners, Tourism and the Sustainable Development Goals - Journey to 2030 aims to build knowledge, and empower and inspire tourism stakeholders to take necessary action to accelerate the shift towards a more sustainable tourism sector by aligning policies, business operations and investments with the SDGs. The publication intends to disentangle the links between tourism and the SDGs and provides recommendations on how to steer the road towards 2030, based on an analysis of 64 countries' Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) on the SDGs - submitted to the United Nations High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in 2016 and 2017 -, as well as eight Mainstreaming, Acceleration and Policy Support (MAPS) country roadmaps and corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities of 60 global tourism companies.
