AM NEWS | VOL. 72 - January 2025
Dear Affiliate Members,
I am pleased to introduce the latest edition of the Affiliate Members Newsletter. This monthly publication will keep you updated on the latest news, events, and initiatives related to your membership and the Affiliate Members network. Also included is a provisional calendar of events for 2025, featuring key UN Tourism events.
As we step into the new year, we foresee a year full of opportunities to strengthen Public- Private Collaborations in Tourism, starting with FITUR 2025 in Madrid. UN Tourism returns to the FITUR International Tourism Fair to advance its key objectives for the sector. Throughout the event, UN Tourism will welcome Member States, Affiliate Members, business leaders, and other key stakeholders for a series of high-level meetings and events aimed at advancing shared plans and strengthening partnerships. Dedicated events for Affiliate Members will include:
- Publication Launch: Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Tourism - Key Considerations for Sector Stakeholders and UN Tourism Affiliate Members Roundtable
- UN Tourism Affiliate Members Corner: Targeting Traveler Segments
2025 promises to be a landmark year for UN Tourism as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of our Organization. On this occasion, we will be organizing several dedicated activities and events for Affiliate Members. Stay tuned to the AMConnected+ platform for further announcements, updates, and news related to the Affiliate Membership.
I am also pleased to report that the new tools and functionalities of the AMConnected+ platform have been well received by Affiliate Members. The user-friendly interface, inspired by the most widely used social networks, enables easy navigation through Regional and Thematic Channels based on your interests. The mobile version and other available features reflect our commitment to delivering value to the UN Tourism Affiliate Membership.
The Affiliate Members and Public-Private Collaboration Department remains committed to supporting your projects to the best of our abilities. We welcome your comments and feedback at any time.
Sincerely,
Ion Vilcu
