Further to the Note Verbal sent on 22 October 2021 to the Members of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the General Assembly of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) will hold its twenty-fourth session from November 30 to 3 December in Madrid, Spain, at the Madrid Marriott Auditorium Hotel and Convention Center.

The twenty-fourth session of the General Assembly of the World Tourism Organization will take place in Madrid, from 30 November to 3 December 2021.

The theme of this twenty-fourth session will focus on the importance of innovation, education and rural development in rebuilding the tourism sector, highlighting the urgency of transforming the sector, whose growth regularly exceeds that of the world economy and international trade.

Together, we will overcome the current global challenge, and to do so, we need to join forces and act decisively to restore confidence.
