Nyon, Switzerland, February 25, 2022 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) today announced their partnership around shared values and a common vision for the future.<\/p>\n

The leaders of both organizations met at the UEFA headquarters and agreed to jointly promote the\u00a0benefits of sports and sports tourism<\/strong>\u00a0for development and opportunity for all, including young people. UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili and UEFA President Aleksander \u010ceferin recognized the values shared by tourism and football, both prominent people-led sectors with the capacity to promote understanding, friendship and solidarity and drive social and economic change.<\/p>\n

Working together, UNWTO and UEFA will build on our potential to celebrate our shared humanity, foster friendship across borders and create experiences and opportunities for people everywhere<\/p>\n

Shared objectives<\/h2>\n

UNWTO and UEFA<\/strong>\u00a0will work to deliver a legacy across Europe. The\u00a0UEFA Foundation<\/strong>\u00a0will join representatives of the different divisions of UEFA at the\u00a0UNWTO Global Youth Tourism Summit\u00a0(July 2022, Sorrento, Italy), designed to give young people a say in the future of the sector and to give them the skills and knowledge needed to lead tourism forward.<\/p>\n

UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili says: \u201cTourism and football are natural partners, bringing joy to many millions with benefits going far beyond vacations or single matches. Working together, UNWTO and UEFA will build on our potential to celebrate our shared humanity, foster friendship across borders and create experiences and opportunities for people everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

UEFA President Aleksander \u010ceferin added: \u201cSports tourism\u00a0<\/strong>is one of the fastest-growing tourism segments. And tourism and football, as the world\u2019s most popular sport, uniquely complement each other. Sporting events, such as UEFA EURO and UEFA Women\u2019s EURO, are making an exceptional contribution to tourism in the host countries. More importantly, football offers teams and supporters a chance to travel the world, discover new destinations and cultures. I cannot think of a better way to learn more about each other, grow together rather than drift apart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jobs and education<\/h2>\n

Under the new partnership, UNWTO and UEFA will work together to\u00a0grow sports tourism across Europe<\/strong>, including through facilitating travel and mobility and through promoting the opportunities for jobs and education this can bring. Both organizations will also jointly champion sustainability within their sectors, in line with the wider\u00a0United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/strong>\u00a0as well as the UEFA Sustainability Strategy 2030.<\/p>\n

The agreement emphasises the far-reaching impact of both tourism and sports, touching on almost every part of economies and societies the world over. Both sectors are leading employers and champions of youth empowerment and gender equality. Under the guidance of UNWTO and UEFA, tourism and sports are also advancing hard to meet their climate action responsibilities.<\/p>\n
