The cooperation of the Ministry of Tourism with the United Nations system has significantly expanded in the previous period, especially considering Montenegro's cooperation with the World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) and the appointment of Montenegro to chair the UN Tourism Commission for Europe.
This was assessed at a meeting between Tourism Minister Simonida Kordić and the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Montenegro, Caroline Tiso, UNDP Head Ekaterina Paniklova, IOM Head Vladimir Gheorghev, and UNESCO Representative Milica Nikolić, with whom she discussed the current cooperation and possibilities for implementing new joint activities.
The interlocutors emphasized Montenegro's strong visibility on the global tourism scene, according to a statement from the Ministry of Tourism.
"Tourism is not just an economic sector. It simultaneously contributes to economic development, preservation and promotion of cultural and historical heritage, more balanced regional development and environmental protection, while also representing an important space for the international promotion and positioning of the country," said Tiso.
Kordić reportedly introduced the UN representatives to the International Tourism Forum that Montenegro will organize in October in cooperation with the World Tourism Organization, which will bring together high-ranking representatives of the tourism sector from Europe and Asia.
The meeting also discussed potential joint projects and activities aimed at further improving sustainable tourism, with an agreement on continuing cooperation between the Ministry of Tourism and the United Nations system in Montenegro, the statement concluded.
