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.

November promises to be an eventful month for Affiliate Members, with a rich lineup of events and initiatives. Kicking off with the World Travel Market in London, this global gathering serves as a vital platform for the travel and tourism industry. Following this, UN Tourism’s 122nd Executive Council will take place from 13-15 November in Colombia. Taking advantage of the presence of many Affiliate Members at this event, my department has organized dedicated networking sessions and activities. For more information, please refer to the AMConnected+ platform.

Further into the month, we look forward to the 9th UN Tourism World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism, which will convene in Manama, Bahrain, on 18-19 November. Closing the month on an exciting note, the 3rd World Sports Tourism Congress will be held on 28-29 November at Madrid's iconic Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. This congress will bring together ministers, high-level officials, sports figures, and key stakeholders to explore innovative approaches to sports tourism, with a focus on maximizing local impact, advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and leveraging sports events to boost tourism and support local economies.

I am also pleased to also 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
