CAN of hospitality: Tourism in all its splendor!
While Côte d’Ivoire hosted the Africa Cup of Nations from January 13th to February 11th, 2024, UNWTO entered a new era by becoming "UN Tourism".
Reaffirming its status as a UN institution and its leadership in promoting tourism for development, with people and the planet at its core. Yes, the "CAN of hospitality" was an incubator of these values, between hospitality and sharing. Demonstrating a human-centered tourism with its flow of emotions, smiles, tears... Furthermore, for more than 2 billion television viewers and as many Internet users, as for some 2 million visitors to "Sublime Côte d'Ivoire", this sporting event of tourist appeal was a demonstration that, thanks to its transversal nature, our sector is a powerful driver for economic growth and social peace. All of which perfectly echoes the theme of World Tourism Day (WTD) 2024: "Tourism and Peace"!
