The 25th joint meeting of the UNWTO Regional Commission for South Asia and the UNWTO Regional Commission for East Asia and the Pacific will be held in Hyderabad, India from April 12-14, 2013.
The key topics this year will include: UNWTO´s Programme of Work for the Region; analysis of Tourism Towards 2030 (UNWTO´s long-term international tourism forecast) and its implications for the Asia-Pacific Region; other statutory issues related to the UNWTO Asia-Pacific Member States.
