#Youth4Tourism – A Handbook to Champion Youth Participation in Tourism at the National Level

This handbook aims to harness the enormous potential of youth. It encourages UNWTO’s Member States everywhere to support young people in becoming the creators of innovative tourism experiences with a global impact. Through interactive workshops, quizzes, engaging sessions and other activities, this publication promotes youth participation in tourism at the national level, as well as within the wider context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The handbook fosters accessibility, gender equality, rural development, climate action and diverse representation. By participating in these activities, young people commit to promoting responsible and inclusive tourism, making significant contributions to a fairer and more sustainable world. The handbook has been prepared within the framework of the Global Youth Tourism Summit, a platform created by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) to enhance youth engagement in tourism decision-making.
