UNWTO Calls on Tourism Stakeholders to join Roadmap for RecoveryAn opening this year's ITB Travel Trade Show (11-15 March, Berlin), Taleb Rifai, Secretary-General ad interim, underscored that 'tourism means trade, jobs, development, cultural sustainability, peace and the fulfilment of human aspirations. If ever there was a time to get this message out loud and clear, it is now, as we meet at a time of overriding global uncertainty, but also of immense possibilities", Mr. Rifai said. He urged the G-20 leaders to take note of this message and to include tourism as a key component of their economic stimulus programmes and the Green New Deal. His keynote speech addressed the challenges and opportunities of the tourism sector in a time of global economic challenge. REMARKS BY MR. TALEB RIFAI, SECRETARY-GENERAL A.I.
