Richard Barnes Editor-in-chief EDITORIAL PROGRAMME VENDREDI 23 SEPTEMBRE TOURISM… IN THE NAME OF PEACE… AND TOLERANCE UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai makes no bones about the fact that in the face of a deficit of tolerance in the world today, “Tourism brings people together; it opens our minds and hearts.” The President of Sri Lanka, Maithripala Sirisena also echoes that tourism is a vehicle for trust and goodwill, saying, “Cultural understanding can change attitudes and build peace. Tourism’s role in peace building is also enacted through its contribution to poverty alleviation, cultural preservation and environmental conservation.” These statements were made recently at the UNWTO conference entitled, “Tourism, a Catalyst for Peace and Development”. But they echo the double message that Dr Rifai has been repeating for some time. The first message is that people who travel the world, meeting people from different cultures religions and beliefs, become more tolerant and understanding. The second, delivered at the meeting I attended in Tunisia on Tourism and Media, was that it is vitally important to aid countries whose tourism has been adversely affected by terrorism. Indeed, here in France, tourism has been hard hit due to the recent tragic events. But before that, Northern Africa took a hit due to the incidents there, and is still suffering. Speaking this week at IFTM Top Resa with Khalid Mimi, the director of the French bureau of Morocco’s national tourism authority, he pointed out that his country is in fact very safe for tourists, but that an “amalgam” still causes some people to stay away. As Dr Rifai said in Tunisia, “The powers of darkness must not be allowed to prevail”. It’s especially up to responsible travel agents to advise travellers on the safety of destinations (and of course the places to avoid). It’s only in this way that the great nations that have been spited by terrorism can be put back on their feet. 9h45 – 10h15 Formation Agents Experts : Iran Hall 7.1, Salle Tokyo 10h00 Atelier Techniques de Vente Hall 7.2, Stand R110 10h00 – 12h00 Rencontres Emplois Tourisme Hall 7.1, Salle Forum 10h30 – 11h00 Formation Agents Experts : République Dominicaine Hall 7.1, Salle Tokyo 10h30 – 11h30 Les voyageurs changent et vous ?
