In March 2025 the UN World Tourism Organization published guiding principles providing comprehensive strategies for integrating sustainability into tourism investment policies. The document highlights the importance of enhancing productive capacities and aligning investments with the Sustainable Development Goals. It offers sustainable investment guidlines in the four dimensions: governance, economic, sociocultural and environmental. By adopting these principles, stakeholders can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient tourism sector.
