This Summit will be sponsored by the International Institute for Peace through Tourism (
One of the many objectives that ICTP sets out to accomplish is the facilitation of communication channels for the discussion of peace initiatives. The post 9-11 world is ready for another watershed event that will mark the beginning of dialogue – where there is violence; respect and tolerance – where there is hatred and suspicion; hope – where there is despair; competitive sport – in place of combat; sustainable development – in place of destruction; and a beginning celebration of our cultural diversity and the wonders of all creation.
ICTP endeavors to be at the fore-front in the drive to promote peace through tourism because there is no industry that is better placed to initiate such a watershed event than the travel and tourism industry. There is no better place to make it happen than Geneva, a city where people of all races, creeds and color live in harmony; a city which is home to some 200 international organizations – all potential partners in Building a Culture of Peace. There is no better time than in this second and third year of a new Century and Millennium – and UN Decade of Peace and Non- Violence for the Children of the World. It is with such a spirit that the Second Global Summit on Peace through Tourism is being convened.
