Under the leadership of the 2020 G20 Saudi Presidency, UNWTO and the G20 Tourism Working Group developed the AlUla Framework <\/em>to further advance the contribution of the sector as an effective means towards fairer growth and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<\/strong>. The Framework provides specific recommendations and tools to support both governments as well as all other key stakeholders in the tourism sector \u2013 including regional and local governments, the private sector, industry associations, civil society, communities and tourists \u2013 fostering a truly holistic and integrated approach to inclusive community development through tourism.<\/p>\n

G20 nations can set the example<\/h2>\n

UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili said: \u201cAs we join forces to restart tourism, we must live up to our responsibility to ensure that tourism\u2019s benefits are shared by all. I congratulate the Saudi Presidency for placing inclusive community development through tourism at the heart of the G20 Agenda and I invite G20 countries to follow this vision and embrace tourism as an effective means for inclusion and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we join forces to restart tourism, we must live up to our responsibility to ensure that tourism\u2019s benefits are shared by all<\/p>\n

His Excellency Ahmed Al Khateeb, Saudi Arabia\u2019s Minister for Tourism and Chair of the G20 Tourism Ministers\u2019 Meeting welcomed the AlUla Framework saying, \u201cOn behalf of the G20 Tourism Ministers, I commend the Tourism Working Group and the UNWTO for this initiative. The AlUla Framework \u2013 named after Saudi Arabia\u2019s first UNESCO world heritage site \u2013 demonstrates how the tourism sector can promote inclusive community development by highlighting practical examples and case studies that governments can emulate to protect local culture and the environment, while empowering local communities, especially women and young people. The Framework is a vital tool to be used as we work together to rebuild the tourism sector to be more sustainable, resilient and inclusive.<\/p>\n

Placing tourism at the heart of development policies<\/h2>\n

Calling for a model of tourism development based on Public-Private-Community (PPC) partnerships, the Framework includes a set of concrete programmes and initiatives based around four pillars of action \u2013 empowerment, safeguarding, prosperity and collaboration.  It further defines the key areas of measurement for the impact of tourism<\/strong> in the communities in line with the Measuring Sustainable Tourism Initiative, led by UNWTO.<\/p>\n

Among the G20 Guidelines for Inclusive Community Development through Tourism endorsed at the meeting, is the importance of placing tourism at the heart of development policies<\/strong> at international, national and local level. The Guidelines further stress the importance of human capital development, inclusive labor markets, adequate social protection, and innovation and entrepreneurship as key contributors to travel and tourism as a human-centered sector, as well as to advancing women\u2019s empowerment<\/strong> and to create decent jobs for all.<\/p>\n

Note:
<\/strong>The Framework was developed by UNWTO and the G20 Tourism Working Group in collaboration with the IE Center for the Governance of Change and the academic contribution of the University of Surrey.  The Framework includes the contributions of the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), World Bank Group and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).<\/p>\n
