Dear Affiliate Members,

I am pleased to introduce you to a new edition of the Affiliate Members Newsletter. This monthly publication will inform you about the latest news, events, and initiatives related to your membership and the Affiliate Members’ network. Also included is the updated calendar of events for 2024, featuring the main UN Tourism events.

Following the successful celebration of World Tourism Day—a significant occasion for tourism stakeholders from both the public and private sectors—UN Tourism is now preparing for upcoming events. Notably, the 122nd Meeting of the Executive Council will take place from 13-15 November. In this promising setting, and given the presence of many Affiliate Members in Colombia for the event, my department will organize dedicated activities and networking sessions. Please stay tuned for more details, which we will share soon on the AMConnected+ platform.

Looking ahead, I encourage you to mark your calendars for the 3rd World Sports Tourism Congress, scheduled for 28-29 November in Madrid, Spain, in the iconic Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. This congress will bring together ministers, high-level officials, sports figures, and stakeholders to exchange innovative ideas and insights on sports tourism, with a particular focus on its local impact, contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and strategic planning for leveraging sports events to boost tourism and local economies.

I am also pleased to report that the new tools and functionalities of the AMConnected+ platform have been received positively by Affiliate Members. The user-friendly interface, inspired by the most widely used social networks, allows for easy navigation based on interests through Regional and Thematic Channels. The mobile version and other available features reflect our commitment to providing value to the UN Tourism Affiliate Membership.

The Affiliate Members and Public-Private Collaboration Department is committed to collaborating and supporting our Affiliate Members’ projects to the best of our abilities. We are always available to hear your comments and feedback.

Sincerely,
Ion Vilcu
Director
