Dahil idineklara ang 2017 bilang UN International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, itatampok ng sesyon ng IIPT ang pag-unlad na nagawa sa Turismo bilang Driver ng Kapayapaan at Sustainability sa nakalipas na 30 taon – at ang pananaw ng mga lider ng industriya para sa karagdagang pag-unlad sa mga darating na taon .
Ang konsepto ng napapanatiling turismo ay unang ipinakilala sa IIPT First Global Conference: Tourism – A Vital Force for Peace, Vancouver 1988. Kasunod na pinasimunuan ng IIPT ang mga unang hakbangin tungo sa pagpapatupad nito:
– 1992 – binuo ang unang Kodigo ng Etika at Mga Alituntunin sa mundo para sa Sustainable Turismo;
– 1993 – nagsagawa ng unang internasyonal na pag-aaral sa mundo ng “Mga Modelo ng Pinakamahusay na Kasanayan”; at
– 1994 – inorganisa ang unang pangunahing internasyonal na kumperensya sa Sustainable Tourism, Montreal.
IIPT Founder and President, Louis D’Amore stated, “We are most honored to again have Dr. Rifai joining us as a featured speaker at our World Travel Market event and to have the UNWTO as a partner with us in promoting sustainable tourism as a vector of peace.” He continued, “We will use the World Travel Market platform to announce IIPT’s 30th Anniversary Global Summit and plans for IIPT’s 30th Anniversary Year.”
Other special announcements will be made by Ms. Leslie Dance, Vice President, Hawaii Tourism Authority; Tajamul Hussein, CheckINN TV. And Juergen T. Steinmetz, Chairman, International Coalition of Tourism Partners (ICTP).
Inaasahan namin ang pagsali mo sa amin.
Ang International Institute for Peace through Tourism (IIPT) ay isang non-profit na organisasyon na nakatuon sa pagpapaunlad ng mga inisyatiba sa paglalakbay at turismo na nag-aambag sa internasyonal na pag-unawa, pakikipagtulungan sa mga bansa, isang pinabuting kalidad ng kapaligiran, pagpapahusay ng kultura, pangangalaga ng pamana, pagbabawas ng kahirapan, pagkakasundo at pagpapagaling ng mga sugat ng mga salungatan; at sa pamamagitan ng mga hakbangin na ito, na tumutulong upang maisakatuparan ang isang mapayapa at napapanatiling mundo. Itinatag ito sa isang pananaw ng pinakamalaking industriya, paglalakbay at turismo sa mundo – ang pagiging unang pandaigdigang industriya ng kapayapaan sa mundo; at ang paniniwala na ang bawat manlalakbay ay potensyal na isang "Ambassador for Peace."
