AMADEUS and UNWTO have agreed to work together to improve the use of innovative technology in tourism in areas such as education and multi-modality.
The two parties signed an MoU to consolidate their collaboration in several areas, including the development of a UNWTO prototype on multi-modality to integrate different means of transport between destinations around the world.
Taleb Rifai, secretary-general of UNWTO, said in a joint statement: “Innovative technological solutions are fundamental for the tourism sector’s competitiveness and ability to create jobs and inclusive development worldwide.”
Both UNWTO and Amadeus are also set to work together on other issues facing the travel industry including sustainability, corporate social responsibility and education.
This will be done through Amadeus’ participation in the UNWTO Talent Development in Tourism pilot project and various UNWTO capacity-building initiatives.
