November 22, 2025 - 08:13

UN Tourism has further strengthened the capacity of its Members across Asia and the Pacific to produce reliable, integrated, and policy-relevant tourism data. This initiative aims to enhance the ability of countries in the region to gather and analyze tourism statistics, which are essential for effective decision-making and strategic planning.

By focusing on data-driven approaches, the initiative enables Member States to better understand tourism trends, visitor demographics, and economic impacts. This comprehensive data will not only assist in crafting informed policies but also help in promoting sustainable tourism practices that can benefit local economies and communities.

The capacity-building efforts include workshops, training sessions, and the development of tools that facilitate data collection and analysis. By empowering nations with the necessary skills and resources, UN Tourism is fostering a more resilient and adaptable tourism sector in the face of global challenges. This commitment to enhancing data capabilities signifies a proactive step towards a more sustainable future for tourism in the region.
