The Best Tourism Villages by UN Tourism 2025 Proposal

Updated 13th March 2025.

 

The Best Tourism Villages by UN Tourism initiative aims to make tourism a positive force for transformation, rural development, and community well-being.
It seeks to advance the role of tourism in valuing and safeguarding rural villages along with their associated landscapes, knowledge systems, biological and cultural diversity, local values and activities (agriculture, forestry, livestock and/or fisheries), including their gastronomy. The initiative will promote, in particular, innovative and transformative approaches to the development of tourism in rural destinations that contribute to the three pillars of sustainability – economic, social and environmental – in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
