Tourism, cultural diversity and
sustainable development
PRESENTATION
This Dialogue places top priority on generating participation and debate, and
encourages interested parties to work together toward responsible tourism. New
opportunities and benefits are highlighted, as the conflicts inherent to an
industry that has such a major impact on society as a whole.
In order to achieve these goals, one part of the Dialogue is rather formal and
includes presentations and round table discussions featuring distinguished
personalities and experts from the fields of tourism, culture, the environment,
and sustainable development.
