I’m delight to bring to this opening ceremony in this beautiful city. The greetings of support of UNWTO, the united national specialized agency committed to tourism, travel and millennium development goals, and to share with you,Our perspective on tourism positive role in our common global future, driven by evolving dynamic social, ethical and sustainable behavior. This world exposition of congress offers a particularly timely opportunity to show the emerging link between leisure and responsible enjoyment, which is embodied in UNWTO’s global code as ethic tourism. That is leisure which leaves positive impact on visitors, on host communities and on the eco-systems it impacts. And there are 3 reasons for this.
The first is because the world is increasingly recognizing the tourism, business and leisure travel is making a major contribution to social-economic improvement generally, and war on poverty specifically. It is the biggest industry in the world. It is more than 30% of global service trade. It is growing fast in the GDP and it will double its impact over the next decade and half, despite the obvious challenges of man-made and natural disasters, despite increasing prices of fuel, despite increasing security demands, and despite massive infrastructure and capital needs. Responsibly and sustainably managed, tourism can significantly improve the lives of billions of people. And leisure is the largest fastest growing segment of this booming market, holiday tourism, eco-tourism, and adventure tourism, sport recreational tourism, healthy and religious tourism, all of these indicative of a changing global life style with easy access, free a time and more disposable income. Mayor, you are very wise to plan your future around this dynamic industry.
