Experiences and Practices on Inclusive Sustainable Tourism in Cities and Localities in the Context of South-South and Triangular Cooperation (UNOSSC, UNESCO, 2023)



As the world ushers into an era of transformation, UNOSSC Cities Project and UNESCO present the inspiring compilation “Experiences and Practices on Inclusive Sustainable Tourism in Cities and Localities in the Context of South-South and Triangular Cooperation”, a knowledge product that sheds light on an increasingly important aspect of our modern, interconnected world – inclusive sustainable tourism. The nexus of culture, economics, and sustainable development is more pertinent than ever, particularly for the cities and localities that can benefit from South-South and Triangular cooperation.

The knowledge product explores and highlights innovative experiences and practices on inclusive tourism that contribute to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and building on the harmonization between tourism and cultural sectors via creativity and digitalization. This document showcases initiatives that have revamped their tourism policies and models according to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the “Sustainable Development Goal 11: “Sustainable Cities and Communities”.

The ten cases from seven countries included the document cover cross-cutting topics, such as sustainable tourism, tourism for the promotion of diversity, sustainable development through digital cultural tourism, and tourism as an axis for inclusive economic recovery in cities. The 10 selected cases are from: Salvador da Bahia (Brazil), O’Higgins Region (Chile), Henan and Hubei provinces (China), Cantarranas (Honduras), Ahmedabad and Hyderabad (India), Merida and Queretaro (Mexico) and Sidi Kaouki (Morocco).

This knowledge product intends to inspire and invite relevant stakeholders and partners working on tourism initiatives in cities and localities across the Global South to increase dialogue, engagement, and mutual learning through sharing and replication of practices, technology, expertise, and knowledge.
