  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.

  In Kyoto City"Kyoto Carbon-Free Lifestyle Promotion Team - 2050 Kyoto Meeting"Under the working group, we are creating projects that connect the choices each individual makes in their daily lives to decarbonization.
  "Project to make visible stores that offer vegetarian menus"has been working to introduce restaurants that serve vegan food, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of food by increasing the number of vegetarian options. As part of this effort, we will be holding a walking tour for the general public that includes a vegan food experience while enjoying a stroll around the city.

  About "Vegan Walking: Kyoto Sanjo-kai Shopping Street Edition"

  We believe that veganism can be incorporated not only into a diet of plant-based foods, but also into fashion, daily necessities, and play that are made from plant-based products, and we will be running tours that allow you to experience vegan "clothing," "food," "housing," and "culture" (English language support available).
