UNWTO/CHIMELONG

UNWTO/Chimelong Initiative are to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda

It encompasses segments such as eco-tourism, safari tours and mountain tourism among others. Wildlife watching tourism occurs mainly in protected areas. Nature, national parks and wildlife are considered the most important tourism assets for tourists travelling for instance to Africa.

The initiative, to be implemented between 2017 and 2020, represents a major milestone in the historical support of the private sector to the World Tourism Organization  and brings opportunities to cooperate with multiple stakeholders, including governments, civil society, private sector and the media. 

As wildlife represents a major component of Tourism, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and Guangdong Chimelong Group have joined forces to enhance the impact of their respective contributions on that theme.
