The Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the European Union included tourism on its programme of work, recognizing the sector\u2019s heightened relevance and importance for inclusive, post-pandemic recovery. Addressing the Ministers, UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili commended European leaders for protecting tourism jobs and businesses<\/strong>, and for playing a leading role in restoring confidence in international travel<\/strong> through harmonized rules and protocols and the introduction of the EU Digital COVID Certificate.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the Secretary-General also provided the EU Ministers with an overview of UNWTO\u2019s own work leading the sector\u2019s response to the crisis, as well as more recent achievements advancing tourism\u2019s climate action.

Strengthening ties<\/h2>\n

This latest intervention further strengthens the ties between UNWTO and the European Institutions, building on the work done prior to the pandemic. In February 2020, the UNWTO leadership visited Brussels. As well as addressing the European Parliament, Secretary-General Pololikashvili also met with Ministers and Secretaries of State for tourism of European Countries, making clear the role the sector can play in driving inclusive growth across the region and in advancing the ambitions of the European Green Deal<\/strong>. More recently, the UNWTO leadership returned to Brussels in October, with a more in-depth agenda focusing on tourism\u2019s place in recovery and future growth for European economies and societies.<\/p>\n
