For yet another year, as part of the annual holding of the FITUR Tourism Trade Fair, Casa Árabe and the UNWTO have organized a round table discussion on this topic.

Within the framework of FITUR 2018, Casa Árabe and the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) have organized this sixth edition of their ministerial meeting for debate over policies and strategies for tourism development in the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA), with the title: Strengthening Tourism’s Recovery in the MENA Region and Supporting Its Growth.

The goal of the debate will be to analyze current trends and short-term prospects for tourism in the region within the context of today’s geopolitical environment. There will be a review of strategies and measures that can be implemented in order to consolidate the sector’s recovery and promote tourism’s contribution to inclusive, sustainable socio-economic development. As in other years, the Ministers of Tourism from the main countries in the region are expected to take part in the debate.
