  About the Kyoto International Conference Center

  

  Since its opening, the National Kyoto International Conference Center (ICC Kyoto) has hosted nearly 18,000 conferences and events, laying the foundation for the history and conventions of international conferences in Japan.

   

  ICC Kyoto supports the "Sustainable Development Goals" advocated by the United Nations and is working to "achieve a sustainable society."

  With the aim of continuing to be an "international conference center worthy of being a stage for the exchange of discussion," we are working mainly on four important issues.
  We will contribute to solving social issues together with our customers by managing facilities that are in line with the times and by attracting and hosting conferences.

  UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization)

  The English name of the UNWTO Japan office is the "UN Tourism Regional Support Office for Asia and the Pacific," and its common name in Japanese is the "World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) Office in Japan."

   

  The World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) Japan Office was established in Japan in 1995 as the only regional office with the aim of promoting tourism in the Asia-Pacific region, where tourism is growing rapidly, and strengthening cooperation within the region. Currently based in Nara, the Tokyo Office was also established at the United Nations University Headquarters (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) in 2017. The UN Tourism Japan Office works in cooperation with the Asia-Pacific Division of the UN Tourism Headquarters (Madrid, Spain) to encourage sustainable policies and practices to maximize the contribution of tourism to socio-economy while minimizing the negative impacts of tourism promotion.

   

  Tourism is one of the most dynamic economic sectors of our time. By providing information on tourism statistics and highlighting tourism success stories, tourism can be an effective development tool that benefits destinations, local people and global travelers. The Japan Representative Office will help promote these efforts in the region.
