UNWTO raises global tourism issues at ITB Berlin 2008
Thursday, February 28, 2008
Secretary-General Francesco Frangialli will be the keynote speaker at the opening of this year’s ITB on March 4. UNWTO plans to hold four major events, two international meetings and one global news conference during ITB 2008.

UNWTO activities will build around e-Tourism, climate change response, gender equality and tourism, as well as the protection of children. These issues will be addressed within the broader context of the relation between tourism and economic development.

As every year, UNWTO will hold a major news conference during ITB, presenting the latest world tourism figures and trends, as well as the Organization’s main policy highlights for the near future.

The 2008 UNWTO campaign "Tourism Responding to Climate Change” will be highlighted and its coherence with the agenda of the UN Millennium Development Goals.

How do you expect luxury travel to perform in times of economic downturn?.

Providers of luxury travel products are going to witness shorter stays by their customers and an increase in seasonality.

People are going to become more value conscious and will opt for those luxury offers that represent a convincing value-for-money proposition. Providers of overpriced services are those to feel the pinch.

Both people paying for their personal trips and firms paying for their top executives' business trips will cut back on travel expenses, thus affecting all luxury travel providers.

It is going to be business as usual. Those people opting for high-end travel products are not going to be affected by the looming crisis.
