Remarks by H.E. Mr. Abdulla Shahid, President of the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly<\/h3>\n

27 June 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Massimo Garavaglia, Honorable Minister of Tourism of Italy,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili, Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Excellencies,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dear Young friends,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I congratulate the Government of Italy and the World Tourism Organization for organizing this first Global Youth Tourism Summit.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tourism is no doubt one of the biggest casualties of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its collapse led to a significant decline in economies, affecting millions of livelihoods in tourism-dependent countries.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before the pandemic, the tourism sector contributed 10% of global GDP, 7% of global exports, and accounted for 1 in every 10 jobs worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its capacity to attract significant investment, generate jobs, increase exports, and adopt new and emerging technologies makes it an important pillar for economic growth and development.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is particularly the case for countries in special situations, the LDCs, LLDCs, and SIDS. Much of their achievements have been reversed or stalled in the wake of the pandemic. Covid-19\u2019s profound impact on the tourism sector globally accounts for much of these reversals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My friends,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the world slowly opening up, we must ensure a sustainable and resilient tourism sector emerges from the rubble of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In line with this, I recently convened, in collaboration with the World Tourism Organization, a High-level Thematic debate which focused on \u201cPutting sustainable and resilient tourism at the heart of an inclusive recovery\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event was truly an historic occasion. It was for the first-time that tourism was discussed in the United Nations General Assembly at a high level.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Given the importance of tourism to the global economy, the goal was to advocate for the rebound of the tourism sector in a manner that accelerates sustainable recovery from the pandemic. In ways that are inclusive and enhances the resilience of our economies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I see the rebound of the tourism sector as a unique opportunity to maximize its contribution towards the realization of many of our international commitments.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This includes the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on climate change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tourism plays a big role in decarbonization and can help accelerate global transition to low-carbon and circular business solutions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Solutions such as sustainable energy generation, reduction of transport emissions, and the integration of nature-based solutions into tourism activities and operations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, this will only be possible with inclusive and scaled-up investments in tourism. This includes investing in youth in tourism.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Excellencies,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With a total of 1.2 billion young people aged 15 to 24 years, today\u2019s youth make up 16% of the global population. By 2030, this number is projected to have grown by 7 per cent, to nearly 1.3 billion.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Young people can play an important role in the recovery of the tourism sector.\u00a0They can be agents of change and recovery and can be strong advocates for sustainable tourism.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the general increase in mobility, where people are able to work remotely, the duration of youth travel has increased.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since the young travel for longer periods and are keen to immerse in the \u2018local life\u2019, they also tend to spend a greater proportion of their budget in the destination contributing to the livelihoods of local communities.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Young people are also increasingly traveling in search for new experiences, aiming to get the most out of travel.\u00a0The host countries must understand the rapidly changing needs and desires of young people in order to stimulate them to travel.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Youth are important agents of change. Your creativity and innovation are assets, as we leverage digitalization and data to transform the tourism sector. A\u00a0recent survey<\/a>\u00a0revealed that more than 40% of those under 33 consider \u201cInstagrammability\u201d when selecting their next holiday destination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Likewise, as staunch advocates of climate and environmental issues, you can make immense contributions on sustainable tourism strategies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Youth empowerment in tourism is key to a resilient and sustainable recovery of the sector.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Providing career opportunities and entrepreneurship in tourism, and ensuring that youth have a seat at the table, is therefore vital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To succeed, we must put in place adequate support mechanisms \u2013 including, but not limited to, mentorship, soft skills development, workplace-based vocational experience, and leadership training.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And we must leverage strong global partnerships to fully empower youth in tourism. We must facilitate financial support towards youth-led MSMEs and supplemental services that support the tourism sector.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Excellencies, ladies, and gentlemen,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are at a moment ripe for change and adaptation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We must seize this moment to build development models that are people-centered, with youth empowerment at the heart of our efforts. This should be the case for tourism as well.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let us strengthen our partnerships and commitments to make this a reality for our young people.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thank you for this opportunity and I wish this Summit every success.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I thank you.<\/p>\n

Excellencies, colleagues,<\/p>

I welcome you all to our second meeting and our first interaction following the resumed part of the session.<\/p>

Before I begin, I would like to recognize the loss of our dear friend and esteemed colleague, Ms. Gail Farngalo.<\/p>

A Liberian national, Gail was my Team Leader for Human Rights and was active on gender during both the 75th<\/sup> and 76th<\/sup> sessions. She leaves behind a legacy of achievements and a groundswell of respect and affection from across the UN and diplomatic communities. Her presence is certainly felt here today.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

When I took on this Presidency of Hope, I pledged to make gender equality a priority area for the 76th<\/sup> session. I continue to look to the board for its wisdom and expertise, as I endeavour to fulfil that pledge.<\/p>

In this regard, I have already benefited from the board\u2019s advice, from when we met on October 28th<\/sup> last year.<\/p>

Acting on that advice, I committed to ensuring that all my five rays of hope, and all my major initiatives, are approached with a gender lens.<\/p>

I made sure that the composition of my office is gender-balanced.<\/p>

I have committed to participating only in panels that have equal gender representation.<\/p>

Throughout my official interactions and travels, I have endeavoured to meet with women, including heads of states and governments, scientists, civil society representatives, and youth.<\/p>

And I am proud to inform you that five young women have been recruited into the Fellowship for HOPE<\/em> that my office recently launched. The Fellowship as you are well aware is targeted at benefiting young diplomats from underrepresented countries, pursuing careers in diplomacy or public service.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

While recognizing that we have a long way to go in the battle for gender-equality, I am proud of what my team has been able to accomplish within the past few months.<\/p>

Our work continues.<\/p>

We will continue to raise our voices on issues disproportionately impacting women, such as domestic violence and work place harassment. We will continue to push the importance of gender-equal work spaces.<\/p>

And we will continue to find new paths to empower young women with ambitious professional aspirations.<\/p>

Now is not the time to rest on our laurels.<\/p>

With the board\u2019s guidance and support, we must use the many opportunities over the coming months to further empower women and girls, and dismantle discriminatory practices against them.<\/p>

There are several upcoming events that will provide us such opportunities. I look forward to the board\u2019s suggestions on how we can best utilize them.<\/p>

As an example, the International Day of Women and Girls in science is fast approaching. We must recognize that women\u2019s contributions in science and technology have helped us cure diseases; discover new horizons in space; and develop technologies that have vastly improved our quality of life.<\/p>

As we celebrate their achievements, we must also open pathways for young girls who aspire to follow in the footsteps of pioneers in science and technology.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

Let us also reflect that the theme chosen by the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women for this year is on \u201cachieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change, environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programmes\u201d.<\/p>

As we strive to meet our obligations to the planet, let us recognize the important work done by women and girls at the forefront of the climate crisis, and whose humanitarian work in disaster-stricken areas has helped save lives and rebuild communities. We owe it to them to not only celebrate their work but to support them.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

Our programme of work for the months ahead has been circulated to members prior to the meeting, for consideration and feedback. Please note that the events we have planned are not exhaustive. I welcome further suggestions from the board on the content and format of future events and activities.<\/p>

Colleagues,<\/p>

We have made much progress within a short while. And with the board\u2019s support and guidance, I am sure that we can keep up this strong momentum.<\/p>

I look forward to working alongside all of you to achieve our vision of a gender-equal world.<\/p>

Thank you.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"tags":[550,556,553],"committee-meeting":[],"class_list":["post-268409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-speeches","tag-ga","tag-pga","tag-shahid","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"\nRemarks
