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.

The recently celebrated 121st Session of the UN Tourism Executive Council took place with the remarkable participation of Affiliate Members from all Regions. In this framework, many priority topics for the Membership have been discussed, including the admission of 39 new Affiliate Members to our growing network! The increasing number of new entities joining the network, especially those from “underrepresented Regions” in terms of the number of Affiliate Members, is the result of the on going Expansion Strategy for a quality-oriented and geographically balanced Membership that my department is carrying out.

As the last Meeting of the Regional Commission approaches: the Regional Commission for Africa; we are optimistic about counting on a high level of engagement from our Affiliate Members, whose perspective from the tourism private sector is crucial to the development of an inclusive, accessible, and sustainable tourism industry.

We are also pleased to report that the new tools and functionalities of the AMConnected+ platform have been received positively by Affiliate Members. The userfriendly 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.

Yours sincerely,
Ion Vilcu

Director
