ANDINA. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has conferred this year’s Ulysses Award in the “Innovation in Governance” category to 'Ruta Moche', a discovery trail of the ancient Moche civilization of Northern Peru.
The awards ceremony will be held during the Gala Dinner of the ‘UNWTO Algarve Forum on Tourism and Science: Bridging theory and practice’ (1-3 June 2011) in Vilamoura, Portugal.
The UNWTO Ulysses Awards reward initiatives and projects undertaken by public tourism institutions, tourism enterprises and non-profit institutions that have made a significant contribution to the advancement of tourism through innovation, in line with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
The Forum represents a milestone in the theoretical and practical dimensions of tourism as it aims to debate the main issues and strategic challenges faced by tourism in the modern world. In doing so, it contributes to building a Global Consensus on Tourism Policy and Governance which will set a reference for any institution involved in the tourism sector.
The event, organized by the UNWTO Knowledge Network, is structured in three parallel sessions: Development and Competitiveness, Climate Change and Sustainability, and Governance and Tourism Policy.
The UNWTO Knowledge Network Scientific Committee will present three executive papers for discussion at the plenary sessions in Vilamoura and participants will be asked to vote on these important issues. The outcome of this participative process will set the framework for the UNWTO Algarve Consensus.
