This time, the UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) Office in Japan introduced the "LINK KYOTO" initiative in its "Sustainable Tourism Archives". The UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) Office in Japan is called the "UN Tourism Regional Support Office for Asia and the Pacific" in English, and its common name in Japanese is the "World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) Office in Japan". The World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) Office in Japan 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 Office in Japan works with the UN Tourism Headquarters (Madrid, Spain) Asia-Pacific Division to encourage sustainable policies and practices to maximize the contribution of tourism promotion to socio-economy while minimizing the negative impacts. Tourism is one of the most dynamic economic sectors in modern times. 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 Office will help promote these efforts in the region. Source: Official website (https://unwto-ap.org/office/)
