Africa at the
World Ecotourism Summit Registration information Efforts to better understand
the implications of ecotourism, as well as to
improve its planning, management and marketing
techniques have been conducted in many parts of the
world by international organizations, government
agencies, ecotourism companies and practitioners,
NGOs and research people. However, there has not
been so far a truly comprehensive effort to
disseminate widely the results achieved, or to
integrate such results so as to produce the
necessary synergies that will ensure that
ecotourism will indeed generate the economic,
social and environmental benefits expected from
it. Among the many activities to
be undertaken at the global, regional, national,
and loca levels in the framework of the
International Year of Ecotourism throughout the
world, this Summit aims to be the major landmark.
Its global objective and spirit are in line with
the philosophy of the United Nations in the field
of sustainable development, and more particularly
with UNEP Principles for Implementation of
Sustainable Tourism. Similarly, the Summit will
draw inspiration from the Global Code of Ethics for
Tourism, approved by consensus by all WTO Member
States in October 1999. The Summit conclusions and
recommendations are meant to be reported to the
World Summit on Sustainable Development, to be held
in Johannesburg, South Africa, in September
2002. The World Ecotourism Summit
is expected to be the largest ever gathering of all
stakeholders involved in or affected by ecotourism.
