UN Tourism Author Guidelines


For all those who create UN Tourism content, the Publications unit has prepared basic easy-to-handle Author Guidelines that include useful examples for the most common questions authors might have. These guidelines are mandatory for all those who prepare content on behalf of UN Tourism, such as consultants, experts or employees.

Among others, you will find answers and solutions on how a UN Tourism manuscript or text should be built and structured, how to use country names in a correct way or how to deal with measures. As well the documents offer guidance on how to present tables and graphs or other additional elements such as pictures or logos. The guidelines also help in preparing refences and bibliography lists correctly.

Within the guidelines package you will also find a valuable Word template that only needs to be filled with your content. Request your Word template at: [email protected].

For any questions and suggestions, please contact: [email protected].

Thank you for using the UN Tourism Author Guidelines and Word template.
